Photos can't be rotated on my PC

I synced the pictures that were taken on my iPhone 4S and I tried to rotate them on my PC but they didn't work.  It said the photos are "read-only."  Why?  I was able to this on the 3GS.

Thank you very much for your respond.  Yes, I was looking at the photos on the hard drive and not the ones on my iPhone. I even disconnected the USB cable.  I also looked in the properties to ensure the "read-only" was unclicked and it was.  Any idea why this is happening?  I never had this problem.  Any resolution to this issue is greatly appreciated.

  • I can no longer rotate photos after importing them.

    I can no longer rotate photos after importing them.  This option was available before they last update.

    There is another current discussion about this going on. I copied it and pasted the answer here.
    "Your functionallity is on an IPAD 2.  This forum is refering to an IPAD 1!
    I spoke to Apple technical support and they concur.
    The feature was available on IOS 4.3 and was removed in IOS 5.
    They directed me to 3rd Party Software.  I told them this is not an anwser since I have 100's of picture which must be loaded in the the 3rd Party Software Rotated individually and saved back into the Save Folder.
    They said if they have enough compliants it will be fixed in the next rev."

  • Problem with some synced photos to my iphone rotating incorrectly

    I recently synced a folder of photos in My Pictures to my iPhone 4 via iTunes.  68 picture...21 were taken in a portrait rotation, the rest were landscape.  I had no tropuble with the landscape photos.  But, after the sync, 5 of the 21 portrait photos had the wrong rotation.  From my basic troubleshoot...they are not all rotated incorrectly in the same direction and I confirmed that they all have a similar resolution as at least one of the correctly oriented portrait photos from the same sync.  Editing and saving the picture directly on the iPhone is not an option because I am only given the option to save an edited photo to the Camera Roll album.  It is extremely frustrating.  Why does this process ignore the native orientation of only some of the synced photos?  I'd be less confused if it mess up all of the portrait photos.  I would very much appreciate any advice to fix this seemingly arbitrary malfunction.  Thank you.

    I'm having a problem where when I import my iPhone photos into Picasa, photos are rotated incorrectly (even when viewed in Finder). Landscape photos are upside down, portrait photos aren't rotated to portrait orientation. I suspect this has someting to do with the iPhone saving photos without rotating them based on iPhone orientation and instead adding EXIF data to indicate the orientation based on something I read online, but I don't really know. When viewing info for a portrait photo in Preview, it indicates Y resolution is less than X resolution (which is what it should be for landscape photos only), and on the TIFF tab says Orientation 1 (Normal).
    So my question is, why is it not being rotated properly in the iPhone for use on other devices? How can I fix this?
    It should be noted that important photos with iPhoto or Image Capture makes it display properly in Preview and Finder with updated Orientation information, but still not in Firefox (so... good for some software on your Mac but even still not if you intend to send the picture to anyone... MAJOR BUG ).
    BTW using iPhone 4s with latest version of iOS 5.1.1, Mac OS X Mountain Lion.
    PS VIdeo orientation is perfect.

  • Icloud photo library won't work unless connected to wifi.  If I am trying to attach a pic to a message or email, I get the error "photo can't be downloaded from iphoto library, please try later." If I connect to wifi it works just fine.

    If I am trying to attach a pic to a message or email, I get the error "photo can't be downloaded from icloud photo library, please try later." If I connect to wifi it works just fine.  If it's truly "storing" a low res version on my phone it shouldn't have to download anything.  I can understand the uploading of pics to library only being done over wifi, but there are plenty of times I'm going to want to send a pic when I'm not going to be near a network.  It does work occasionally, but the norm is that I get the error.

    Hi Ed,
    There is issue with Windows 7 when you send the email. It gives the message you specified.
    But you can always use Adobe Email client to send your images. In this workflow also you would get the error message but you can ignore it and continue to send the mail.

  • How many photos can you load into Organizer and Editor

    How many photos can you load into Organizer and Editor at one time.  I receive the error message, "Unable to Import Files", which says "You exceeded number of files that can be selecteed and imported at once...."  What is the number?  Secondly is there a way around this for either the Organizer or Editor to work on thousands of photos at the same time?
    Thanks

    I have never heard of this particular limit before.
    Please understand, this appears to be the limit you can import into the Organizer at one time -- you can have as many photos as you want in the Organizer; but apparently you have to import in batches rather than all at once.
    I don't think it applies to the editor; and I can't imagine wanting to have more then a few files in the editor at any one time ... even if you could open 2000 photos in the editor at once, what sense would that make?

  • I currently have 1,177 photos on my iphone (4s) but it takes up 4.9 GB of space. Why is it so large? I do not use photostream - this is simply within my "Camera Roll". Other than deleting the photos, can someone tell me another solution?

    My friend has over 2,000 photos on her iphone and it only used 1.7 GB of space and I know I had at one point over 3,000 photos on my phone and still had space left for more.
    Any tips are greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

    When you open your camera app, does it say "HDR on" at the top?
    HDR photos are better quality but take up much more space.
    Also, go to Settings>photos and camera.  Scroll down to "keep normal photo".  Is it on?  This feature saves a normal copy and an HDR copy of every photo you take.
    I bet your friend has this feature turned off along with the HDR as well.

  • HT1229 Ive move photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto.   When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found.  I have thousands.  How do I get rid of these images?

    Hi Ive moved photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto.   When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found.  I have thousands.  How do I get rid of these images?
    Also I have many duplicate photos (from backups)  It would be great to be able to remove all duplicates at one time, like in Itunes.
    Can this be done?

    You moved what photos from where and to where?
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

  • All photos can see in small icons in iPhoto,but can't open it or see it!

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    Regards

    how many photos can i download on a mac pro?

    That's like asking how many cows can I get into a field.  It depends on the size of the field, size of the cows, the terrain of the field, etc.  We could use a bit more information on what you're trying to accommplish:
    1 - where are the photos being downloaded from.
    2 - how big are the photos?
    3 - where are you going to put the photos, i.e. into folders, into an iPhoto library?
    4 - how big is the hard drive in the Mac Pro and how much free space do you have on it?
    etc., etc, etc......

  • HT1947 Why can't I rotate "remote" on my iPad envy more?

    Why can't I rotate remote on my iPad envy more? It's very ennoying when you want to have the label of the music playing on full screane and iPad standing up, then it showed 90 deg offset!
    It worked before the update to iOS 7.0. Hope Apple will fix this issue sone :)

    That's because it hasn't been released for the iPad. Ask the developers why...

    can i lock rotation in iphone 4s

    You can only lock potrait orientation on iPhone as far as i know. To do this, double press the home button until the multitasking bar pops out and swipe from left to right and tap on the left icon with a circling arrow.

  • Is there place in Aperture where a photo can be given  a different look, like a painted canvas, cartoon look, or other effects?

    Is there place in Aperture where a photo can be given  a different look, like a painted canvas, cartoon look, or other effects?

    Only by sending the photo to an external editor or using a plug-in, like Toonit (see ToonIt! For Aperture (Digital Anarchy)).
    The effects in Aperture (see the are very basic. Some simple effects Quartz Filter effects can be added by using Automator services, see my user tip here:
