Photos don't rotate

Most cameras support manual, or even automatic rotation, and keep this setting upon download. Furthermore, most applications both shrink-wrapped, and online (Flickr, e.g.) read this rotation meta-data and display the photos properly.
AppleTV, however, does not. Any idea when it will?
I'm loathe to go modifying pictures to find & remove the meta-data and rotate manually, especially, since, when I'm at the computer, everything looks fine. I'd have to see a bad picture on the AppleTV, then go to the other room, find and fix the picture, and wait for the whole mess to re-sync to the AppleTV...

Not to hijack this discussion, but this is the exact same issue I'm having with photos being rotated on my Mac, but not rotated on my Apple TV.
In my case I'm using Adobe Bridge to view them before I place them in the magic Apple TV folder. But even Bridge shows them rotated, without me doing anything. So how is a person to know when they need to be rotated, if every piece of software including Apple's Preview shows them rotated, but Apple TV does not?
I agree with scr14 - above - that this is frustrating.

My photos don't rotate anymore when I flip my phone and I notice a new icon symbol in the upper right corner of the screen that looks like a lock with a 3/4 circle going around it. Any ideas???

A Icons and their meanings are covered in the manual ( orientation lock included)

Orientation lock on? Double tap the home button, swipe left-to-right, far left is the orientation lock, tap on/off.

Web Gallery, Photos Not Correct Rotation

I'm playing around with three photos and uploading them to a web gallery. Problem is, when I see them in Safari, the photos are upside down, which is how they were after their initial import.
In the web gallery project in iPhoto (7.1), the photos have been rotated to display properly, but after the upload, no good.
I deleted the "bad" web gallery, and started over. I've also done a rebuild of the iPhoto library. Not sure what else to try.
I would suspect that the web gallery is drawing from the Originals folder within the iPhoto Library. Sound reasonable?

It's funny: I had just posted to someone else that they should update to 7.1 to get the web gallery to upload. I didn't realize I was not up all they way myself. So now I'm at 7.1.1.
Problem was, I still had upside down photos.
So the work around I employed was to export the edited photos out, delete the photos within iPhoto, then re-import the edited photos back in. Ah, now they show properly.
Not my favorite solution, but what are you going to do?
I still suspect there might something within the web gallery functionality, which wants to upload the Originals and not the Modifieds. Thoughts anyone?

 TV 3.0 - Photos no longer rotate

I started my Apple tv this morning and before the menu came up it downloaded and installed the 3.0 software. I don't have a real problem with that but I just wanted to watch a slideshow of photos stored on the Apple tv. Things seemed to work fine except that the vertical format photos were not rotated. These photos have been on the Apple tv (not streamed) for at least two software upgrades and this was never a problem. The same thing happens if I just view an album instead of doing a slideshow. Oddly enough, the photos are correctly rotated in the screen saver and in the thumbnails. Have a missed a setting to make the full screen photos show up correctly?

may the OP forgive me for hijacking this thread but i desire the advice of one as knowing as sir winston on a, well, slightly unrelated topic.
as you may vaguely recall, sir winston, i was having problems with my TV last weekend, not unlike those that still bug chenks.
now, luckily i got my problems fixed by factory restoring/re-upgrading my unit.
today i got email from Apple asking my feedback because +Our support engineers were interested in finding out a bit more about the issues you were having. If you could provide a description of exactly what you are experiencing along with the manufacturer and model of your receiver and TV, that would assist the engineers in understanding your issues.+
alas, my problem seems solved so i was wondering if i should simply ignore this request (imagining how busy the Apple engineers must be right now) or should i get back to them ?
my apologies again to the OP !

I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive. I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto. How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive?

I have a new MAcBook Air and my photos don't fit on the internal hard drive. I want to store my photos on an external hard drive which I will connect to my Air when using Iphoto. How do I set an external hard drive as the default drive in Iphoto?

Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

I have photos that are rotated within a photo stream created from a project even though the photo displays properly within the project. How can I get the photos to have the proper rotation within the photo stream?

I have a photo stream that was created from a subset of photo from a rather large Aperature project. Some of the photos show up rotated within the photo stream but are not rotated within the project. Why is this happening and how do I fix the rotation within the photo stream? I do have the latest version of Aperature and have all of the necessary updates applied to my devices used to view the photo stream. The photos do show up rotated within the photo stream segment of Aperature, so I am sure it is not an issue with the output device (iPad and Apple TV). I do know that I cannot edit photos within a photo stream, but no amount of editing within the project allows the photos to be properly rotated within the photo stream. All help would be greatly appreciated.

That will work, but it is the long way 'round.
As Frank noted, Book Albums are just specialized Albums. Albums can show any Image in your Library, regardless of where the Album is located on the Library Inspector, and regardless of which Project contains the Image. You can put your Albums anywhere (in a Folder called "Books" for example). You can put Images from anywhere in your Library in any Album.
The easy way 'round:
- Make a new Book Album
- Select Images you may want to put in your Book. Flag them.
- Select some more. Flag them.
- Go to the "Flagged" container (listed near the top of the Library Inspector), select all, and drag-and-drop them to your Book Album.
- Repeat as needed, or just drag-and-drop directly into the Book Album.
Note that you can remove any Image from any Album (including Books) by selecting and hitting the "{Delete}" key. This _does not remove the Image from the Project that contains it, or from the Library.
Note, too, that once the Images are in your Book Album, you then put them in the Book you are creating for publication. The Book Album contains the superset of Images with which you populate the Book itself. The Book Album also holds the Book.
A good (imho ) introduction to the parts of Aperture can be found in this short guide I wrote.
The User Manual is helpful. Here is
the chapter on making Books.
From that chapter, here is
the section detailing how to create and populate a Book Album.

IOS 8.2: New photos don't appear in camera roll

Hello,
I am using the latest iOS 8.2 on an iPhone 6. Very often new photos don't appear in the camera roll. As if they were never taken!
Funniest thing is: in the camera app I can see the last picture in the bottom left but when I click it the camera roll shows me the photo taken before that (so it doesn't show me the one which is shown as a small preview in the camera live view).
Any way to clean up this mess? I tried resetting the phone and restoring an iTunes backup w/o success. Thanks!!!
Cheers Argentinos

Ok, so I got my pictures back, the ugly way though. What I did:
- made an iCloud backup of my phone (only 2GB instead of the earlier 4GB, because the camera roll was empty)
- restored my last iTunes backup, this was a month old. It was made right before i upgraded to iOS5.
- My pictures were back on my iPhone so i downloaded them to my PC.
- Then I restored the iCloud backup from my phone. The one I made before I restored the iTunes backup.
The pictures where gone again, but at least I had them on my PC.
I don't trust iCloud backups anymore. The backup itself holds all your settings and remembers which apps and data you had installed. But it went wrong when it had to redownload the pictures from the cloud. It was a hard lesson learned. From now on I'll backup my pictures once in a while. I was used to what Apple promises: that everything "just works". No, it doesn't.

Photos don't show up in file name order

Photos don't show up in file name order on the iPad. Is there a way to do it?

Apparently from reading other forum posts Apple iPad sorts photos by the date stamp.
Clearly this is not suitable or feasable for people with large photo collections. Currently only people with Apple OS (iPhoto can create a sort order).. The rest of us with Windows based systems are left high & dry.
Does anyone know how to report a bug / problem to Apple ? They have no way of contacting them via email.
They need to have the sorting option in iTunes or within the iPad software itself... ie. Allow sorting by file name, etc.

Photos Don't Display

I'm having an issue with iPhoto that has started this last week. I was hoping it would go away after a couple days, because it's acted flaky before but then somehow fixed itself. But this time, it didn't, and it is sort of a big deal. That is, my photos don't show up in iPhoto anymore when I try to view them.
It appears they are in there, and indexed, and the thumbnails show up. But when I go to view them, they are totally blank. Every one of them. But they seem to have retained tags of where the faces are.
For a photo viewing app, it would be useful if I could view a photo. Any idea how to fix this problem, or have I lost my photos for good now?

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
3 - If necessary repeat with Option #1, Repair Permissions.

From what I understand RAW photos are supposed to open in raw in photoshop CC. I don't understand why my RAW photos don't open in RAW in photoshop CC or Lightroom 5

From what I understand RAW photos are supposed to open in raw in photoshop CC. I don't understand why my RAW photos don't open in RAW in photoshop CC or Lightroom 5

Has the behavior changed compared to how it used to open ? If so, do you refer to the Camera RAW window similar to this: http://screenshots.en.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/78000/78026/adobe-camera-raw-22.jpg
What is the file extension of your photos ?
In Lightroom, there is no special way of opening a RAW file vs. JPEG. They all open the same. What is the Lightroom behavior ? Can you post a screenshot ?

Aperture 3: Photos don't display in browser or Viewer

Some of my photos don't display in the browser or Viewer panels. It's displayed as greyed out. I am running Aperture 3.2.2. I have tired to rebuild permissions and the database without luck. Updating the preview doesn't work either. For some of the photos, if I double click, the photo appears in the Viewer panel but when I double click it goes back to the greyed out view.

Problem with Aperture slideshow export - Some photos don't display!

I have just completed my latest wedding slideshow. It plays as normal in Aperture, but when exported, certain photos don't show... just a black screen. The timings are unaffected. Aperture 3.6, Yosemite 10.10.1
The affected photos seem to be the ones that I am displaying for longer durations. I'm using Ken Burn's theme and if I turn off the Ken Burn's effect on the affected photo it gets exported ok.
Having spent many hours working on this slideshow I'm "slightly" annoyed! This is obviously a bug introduced in Aperture 3.6 or Quicktime on Yosemite, I just hope it can be fixed ASAP. Unfortunately, I guess Aperture is low on the priority list... I have moved the LR, but still rely on Aperture for slideshows!
HELP!

Luckily I still had a bootable pre-Yosemite backup of my iMac and have been able to successfully export the slideshow. Hopefully, Apple will fix the problem before next wedding season!

Synced Photos don't appear on my 2G iPod touch

Hi,
Here is my problem. I own since 3 years an iPod touch 2G which I use a lot. I use to sync 4-5 recent photo albums from my iPhoto Library on it but since few days, photos don't appear on the Photos App in the iPod neither the bottom bar to navigate between events and others sortings.
Everythings seems to works fine when I sync it. The problem appears on the synced iPod. Only saved images remain.
That's sure a big loss in my use of the device. I use to show people recent pictures that I carry on my iPod touch often.
Regards,
Dragonrouge

Are they configured to still sync to your iPod Touch from under the iPod's Photos tab in iTunes? See this article for more information and assistance.

I have a Nikon S6300 and when I import into iPhoto the photos don't show up in events or photos only in recent imports

I just purchased a Nikon S6300 camera and when I import into iPhoto the photos don't show up in either photos or events only in recent imports.
I have Snow Leopard on my MacMini.

Control-click one of the photos under the Recent import and select "Show Event" in the contextual menu. Or you can use the View ➙ Sort Events menu in the Events mode to reset the sort order so the new import will be either at the top or bottom of the list.
