PNG files sent to iphone Photo App do not appear on 'date taken' (manually added in windows explorer)

I have over 1000 PNG files that do not have exif 'date taken'. They only have exif 'date created or modified'
The 'date created/modified' is not the actual date that I took the screen shots.
I added the 'date taken' manually in windows explorer. However, it seems that this does not write this data into the exif 'date taken' which remains blank.
When I transfer the PNG file from the PC to IPhone Photo App, it does not appear on the 'date taken' (that I added manually) but appears on the exif 'date created or modified'.
Interestingly, when I do same as above but with JPG file, it does show up correctly based on the 'date taken' (that I added manually in windows explorer).
So I converted the PNG file to JPG using one of the online tools. However, when I do this, the converted file does not retain the 'date taken'.
I can fix the above by:
1.  Use Paint to save the PNG file as JPG; this retains the 'date taken' but this is not the solution I am looking for as I would need to do this for each file (there is no bulk 'save as' in Paint)
2. Use a file conversion tool to bulk convert from PNG to JPG; but again this is not solution, as I would have to manually add the 'date taken' in windows explorer to each JPG file
Alternatively, I tried to rename the file name to include the 'date taken' and then use an exif date changer app to set the xhif dates based on file name.
However, I was not able to find any software that would allow me to do this. The software that I have seen only picks up the 'date taken' from file EXIF data. But in my case there is no such data in the file - only the 'date taken' that I manually added in Windows Explorer.
Any advice is appreciated. All I want to do is transfer PNG files from PC to Iphone Photo app and have these files appear in Photo app based on the 'date taken' (the one I manually added in windows - not the date taken in exif data).

Have you touched the "More" button (on the iPhone).
then gone to Audio Books.
Are they there?
I had an audio book still on my iphone, it survivedf the iOS5 update.
To get rid of it, I plugged iPhone into Mac,
Go to itunes.
Click on Iphone in iTunes.
Go to Books tab,
Scroll down, there is audio books.
Choose sync selected audio books,
And untick the ones I don;t want.
Dows this work for you?

    Why can't I add a location to a photo in the new Photos app?  Apple appears to have taken away a feature without asking. 

    I have an iPhone and occasionally use it for photos, but my main camera is NOT an iPhone.  To be forced to go outside Apple for a product when Apple had perfectly good products available is ludicrous.  But it is what it is, apparently.

  • Edited iPhone 4s pictures do not appear edited when viewed/transferred on a Windows PC.

    Hello All,
    When I transfer pictures that are taken and edited on my iphone 4s (using the default camera app) to a Windows PC, these pictures do appear to be edited. I wish to edit the pictures on my camera (quicker), rather than transfer them and edit them on my Windows PC.
    By the way, I transfer my photos to my PC simply by opening the iPhone on my PC as a drive, not via iTunes. Must I use iTunes to transfer edited pictures to my computer?
    Thank you!

    Snapseed is not a real solution. Cumbersome & awkward way to transfer edited photos from an iphone to a PC. You ultimately only sharing with Google, FaceBook, etc or emailing the pics to yourself. Plus the software costs money, it isn't free, and is ultimately a poor band-aid for something that the Apple product should already do. Customers spent $400-$800 on the phone to begin with, which has a camera & built-in editing tools that do you absolutely no good, because only the original photos can be transferred to PC. Simply ridiculous. Plus the support, pricing, and product info for SnapSeed is poor. A German company that is using Google+ as its website, and has inconsistent & missing info.
    I've tried all the PC photo transfer software for iPhone like SnapSeed, TunesGo, etc. They all cost around $30-$40 and up, and ultimate just create more work with awkward & cumbersome sharing, which still is several steps away from truly transferring edited photos. Plus many of these suggested programs only transfer the original photos anyway, so its a wild goose chase.These are not 'solutions' and are crappy workarounds for shortcomings in iOS & Apple products. To compensate for functionality that should already be in the product.
    If going the file sharing route, DropBox is way easier, better, & free. Its a much cleaner & faster way to bulk upload edited photos to DropBox, then bulk download those edited photos from DropBox directly to a folder on your PC.
    That said, all of this is just ludicrous. Only supporting transferring the original unedited photos to PC, taken by the iphone camera, yet those same photos edited using built-in iphone functionality cannot be transferred to PC, is simple insane. I don't know who or how someone at Apple thought this was acceptable or a good idea, but it is one of many really really poor decisions and shortcomings with the iPhone, iPad, and the management software/support.
    Apple really needs to fix this and support transferring edited photos to PC, just like the originals. In fact, who asked Apple to save the originals anyway? I didn't do a 'save as', I edited the original photo. The edited version should be the ONLY version of that photo on my phone, You can't even access the unedited original from the phone itself. So whats the point of saving the original? If a user edits a photo, that's the version they want, not the original...!
    Come on Apple....seriously....?

  • HT4597 Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in all my devices?  I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?

    I have 3 Apple devices - iMac, iPhone, and iPad.  I am planning to move to iCloud from MobileMe.  In iTunes, I just choose to sync whatever files I want my iPhone and iPad to have since they don't have sufficient disk space as my iMac. 
    Can I just choose which apps or photos to sync via iCloud since I don't want all of them in my iPhone and iPad?  I have all photos & apps in my iMac but only sync manually some of them to my iPad and to my iPhone. Can I still do this with iCloud?
    Calendars, emails, contacts, are fine since files are small.  What I'm afraid of are the apps and photos.
    Any reply will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    With the exception of photo stream, iCloud doesn't sync your apps or photos between devices. You will continue to sync this content via iTunes in the same way as you do now.
    Photo stream allows you to sync your most recent photos between all devices, you have the option to use photostream or not.

  • Iphone photos app breaks when you have 2^14 photos

    I have six years of photos on my iPhone (which has changed over the years but is now an iPhone 5 with 64GB and running iOS 8.0.2)
    Needless to say I use the Photos app quite a bit and every day.
    I noticed a few days ago that the Photos app was not responsive.
    I reset the phone (turned it off and then on) - no change
    i factory reset the phone and restored from backup -- no change
    Then I noticed the number of photos (counted via Image Capture) 16,431 (remarkably close to and just above 2^14).
    I removed 290 photos from the phone (arbitrary number that put the total number of photos below 2^14).
    Then I reset the phone (turned it off then on) and the photos app is back to working as fast as it ever did.
    so, i suspect that the photos app has a problem dealing with more than 16,383 (or 2^14 - 1) photos in the Photos album
    Can anyone else confirm this trouble or know when a fix will be made?

    It's not a limit of the number of files in a folder.  A look at the iPhone with IFunBox shows that the photos are organized into folders of 1000 photos each.
    The photos app seems to be designed to handle many many photos -- given that photos are organized by year and the folder organization I can see.
    I'd like to use the photos app in the most natural way possible -- That is: take pictures and look at pictures that are well organized.
    Alternatively, I'd like to have other albums organized like the many photo album (years, collections, moments).
    Alternative to that I'd like to use a different app to view my photos -- especially if it organizes photos like the main
    photo app (or even a better way if that exists) and can handle more than 2^14 photos.
    Does anyone know of a photo app in the app store that meets those requirements?

    How do I clean up mail in my icloud?  I have already deleted old mail (from all my e-mail accounts) on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much room).  When I go to manage storage on any device & it will display how much room each program or app is using, it still shows that my e-mail is taking up the most room.  Is there a way to actually log on to the icloud server to manage what it stored there?  If so, how do I do it?  Also, on a related subject,  why does my mail not sync accross all devices?   ie. when I delete an email on one device, why do I still see it on all my other devices?  How can I change this?
    I have an iphone5, ipad2, ipod 4th gen, ipod 3rd gen, all running on my same apple id - but I have a PC not a Mac home computer - is this part of the problem?  Looking to upgrade to a Mac sometime this year...
    Thank-you for the help!

    I do have the Time Capsule and spoke to Apple Care here in Sydney about it yesterday.  They told me my mail is not backed up there unless I create a special folder. I just tried ringing them again but Apple Care is closed today...
    Mail is backed up automatically. If you make backups automatically, open Mail application and then, open the Time Machine app (in /Applications/Utilities). You will access to the Time Machine interface, and you will be able to see all your mails of all the backups you have, and you will be able to restore them. It means that your mails are backed up onto the Time Capsule

  • Can I import and open raw files on the new photo app?

    Hi,
    Can I import and open raw files on the new photos app on my ipad?  Does it convert it to jpeg automatically when you want to share them?
    Thanks.

    Clem is telling you to click on the View menu, move the pointer down to the item "Metadata," & from its choices make sure "Show Titles" is selected. Do this, then make sure you are in a view in the main window that shows one or more videos (or whatever) that you want to title. Click once on one of them, & if the separate Info window is not open, open that (on the Windows menu or command + i as a keyboard shortcut). In the Info window the top line will be "Add a Title."
    Click once on that & type your title.
    This works for any item, video or photo.

    On my iphone 4g if I select the "Photos" app a list appears: Camera Roll, then Photo Library. There is a large title covering the top of this list: "Albums". This title prevents me from selecting Camera Roll. Anyone know how to select Camera Roll beneath this obtrusive title? John R

    Tapping? If I tap the Photos icon it goes to the Photos List. If I tap the Photos icon in the multitask bar it goes to the Photos List. What the heck does your taping do that mine doesn't?
    I just reset the phone last week, it didn't change this situation.
    The only thing I see that shaking icons do is enable to move them around on the iphone desktop windows.
    What are you talking about?

  • Communicating through the iPhone photos app

    I upgraded my iPhone and gave my wife the old one. How do I change my name to hers on the photos app? She has her own account and so forth. It is only the photos app that still thinks it is my phone.

    Hi, AyaniB_VZW
    The app on her iPhone is called Photos, not iPhoto. (It is one of the apps
    that comes with the iPhone, and it cannot be deleted and reinstalled.) I
    reset the phone to factory settings before activating it for her. In fact,
    I did it again yesterday, just to make sure.

  • IPhone Photos app Downloading constantly.

    Hello,
    In my iPhone Photos App, I have the Camera Roll, the Recently Deleted folder and below that there is the spinning circle and "Downloading" text. I have reformatted / wiped my iPhone, and it still appears. Does anyone have an idea as to what is happening? Does anyone else have this?

    I had the exact same issue and finally found a solution that worked: 
    - Make sure your iPhone photos are saved.
    - in iTunes, turn on "Sync Photos from iPhotos"
    - Choose an event to sync (I chose an iPhoto event folder with 2 photos to keep the download minimal)
    - click "Apply" and start the sync process
    - The constant "downloading" message on the iPhone changes to a "sync" message. 
    - Once the Sync completes, you will see a new Event Album on the iPhone with the new photos 
    - in iTunes, turn off "Sync Photos from iPhotos", apply and run another sync.  This removes the iPhoto event photos and all is normal again. 
    Hope this works for others. 

  • Photo App does not display all photos

    Running iOS 7.0.4 on an iPhone 4S. The new Photo App does not display all photos properly. All photos show up as thumbnails. However, when you tap on some of them, only a blank page is displayed. The rest is fine. This issue started after the upgrade to iOS 7. Is this a bug? Hardware-related?

    Upon closer inspection it appears that the missing photos are in a folder called IPhoto Library.  This folder is greyed out when I choose the import folder.
    When I use 'show package contents' it reveals the missing photos (below).  Why is my iphoto library so scrambled!  Thanks for any insight.

  • Import of photos is not working. Moreover 'photos' app is not getting closed, it says 'closing all libraries'. Even it is stopping shutdown/restart of my mac.

    Next time you open the photos application hold down both of the keys suggested and then launch the application in the usual way. If you do this you will be presented with the opportunity to repair your library.

    If you have a decent mail provider like Microsoft Hotmail or Outlook.com mail it does.
    If you have Gmail it does not.  Quite right. Gmail is rubbish.
