Uploading problem - picture orientation wrong. Horiz pics turn out vertical

Why are my pics turning out upside down, vertical becomes horizontal vice versa?
I'm uploading new img folders from my Mac desktop and the photos upload well except for this problem.
Help.
Thx.

@jmclarke,
I also like sharing my picture with friends and family on Facebook so I understand how important this is for you.
Have the pictures always uploaded to Facebook this way or did it just start happening? Does it happen with ever picture you upload or just certain ones?

When I download pictures from my camera, they turn out a nice big size in iPhoto; other pictures that have been e-mailed to me or imported from older libraries/other computers show up small. Why is this, and how can I make them all the larger size?

When I download pictures from my digital camera into iPhoto, they turn out a nice large size (usually almost the full screen), but when somebody e-mails me pictures and I import them into iPhoto, or when I transfer old photos from an old library into my new iPhoto library, they turn out very small--not exactly thumbnail-size, but too small to use for calendars or photo books. I don't know much about computers, so I don't know how this happened. Also, I can't find any discernible pattern to why this happens with some pictures and not others--ie: what I described above is usually true, but I have had e-mailed photos or old photos turn out the way I want them, which is in the larger size in iPhoto. Why is this happening, and how can I make all the pictures the larger size?

Some mail programs, including Apple Mail, can reduce the size of images that are attached to a message. It's happening at the sender's end, and all you can do is ask the sender for a larger image.

When I take a picture in the dark and use the flash, the photo turns out pink.

Recently, when taking pictures using the flash, they turn out pink This happens whether there is light or not. Why?

You probably have a filter set for the normal camera mode but not the square.
To fix, in Photo mode, touch the filter icon (three circles) and select None for the filter.

IPhoto MobileMe uploaded picture orientation problem

Hi, I scanned a number of old photos into iPhoto and moved the photos to upright orientations (portrait and landscape). I then organized them under a single event and published to the MobileMe Gallery. Once uploaded, however, the orientations of some of the photos are all messed up, unlike the ones displayed on iPhoto. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
Then re-publish the gallery.

I used to upload any picture to Fbook which was in my Iphoto. Now, I can only upload pictures from IPhoto which are a week old. I'm unable to upload any recent pics from Iphoto to FBook - like pics I uploaded to I photo today. They are in IPhoto, but once I'm on FB, and want to upload, they aren't available to choose. Help? Thanks! Louise

thanks for replying.
the booting and walking away and then attempting to browse and clean method is what i've been trying to do. it won't let me drag and drop and just freezes up and goes to sleep after 2 minutes. it's a never ending battle with very few results. which is why i questioned the method of just restoring the hd from a time machine backup.
do you think restoring the hd from time machine will resolve the issue with all pics on the desktop? and everything will be as it was from the date i restore it from? sorry, as you can tell, i'm not overly computer savvy.
i have a really old desktop mac...i can try connecting the two...how does one boot a mac in 'target mode'?
as for the iphoto cleaning and organizing issue...that is what i was trying to accomplish with importing them to a folder. was going to browse and clean from there...but somehow imported to desktop which is what's complicating everything. once i get them off the desktop i can work on the iphoto issue...which as i mentioned...i didn't take 45,000 pics...i've just taken about 4,500 over the last few years, and they are being duplicated in iphoto. this was my attempt to clean it out entirely and start over. it will basically be a lot of deleting.
one problem, seems to lead me to more...which is just my luck. :-)
thanks again, for your help.

Picture Orientation problem with Konica Minolta Dynax 7D in iPhoto'08

Hello,
as far as I know the Dynax 7D has a bug concerning saving the picture orientation correctly in the EXIF tags. OK, that is definitly no Apple issue. But if I want to import pictures from the camera, in +the preview+ of the iPhoto import the portrait pictures are displayed in +correct orientation+. If I do the import, afterwards the portrait pictures are +in landscape mode again+, so I have to turn them manually. So the software is able to cope with portrait pictures, but chooses not to apply this...
This is the point I would like to have fixed or at least to have a automatic workaround. Any suggestions are welcome. Did anybody solved that problem already?
Will there be a fix for that behaviour in iPhoto'08?
Best wishes

Create a new test library and import a few of the problem files into it to see if they will display properly. If they do then it's a problem with the current library. If they don't then you'll need to see if it's system wide or limited to your account. To do that log into another account, create a test library and try there. If you don't have a second account it's a good thing to have because it's a great troubleshooting tool. Just create a non-admin test account.
If it works in the second account your primary account is causing it. It could be some other preference file other than iPhoto's that is the culprit. Here's how to determine if that's the case:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
5 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.
If the problem persists in both accounts a reinstall of iPhoto may be warranted. If it gets to that point you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder before you install iPhoto from the disk it came on.

Picture uploading problem

I have never had this problem...but I uploaded 93 pictures from my camera to iphoto, and when I went to upload all pictures to Picasa only 30 uploaded. When I click on the photo itself in iphoto it doesn't come up...it shows a triangle with an ! in the middle. All pictures look like they uploaded in iphoto, howvever some don't open....
I deleted them from my camera after they uploaded so I am praying that I didn't loose all these pictures..
HELP!
Thanks!

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 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. .

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

Business trying to take product pictures, turning out dark

Let me preface this by saying no one who works here has had experience with photography and any guidance would be much appreciated.
We just got the Rebel t5i to help us get better pictures of our instruments and other merchandise for our website. I've spent 3 days reading about all the various settings of the camera (ISO, shutter speed, exposure, aperature, filters, lenses) and different lighting options.
The set up we currently have is as follows:
4 par 64 lighting cans with diffusing gels, (2 on an 10 ft. adjustable tree stand, the other 2 on individual adjustable stands) charcoal backdrop. It is important to note that we have this set up in a corner of the store so we're working with being able to light from the front, 1 side and above.
We're having a few problems.
(This is after much trial and error with settings. The best one I was able to find was on Manual mode, 1/250 shutter speed, f 5.6, iso 800, aeb exposure and tungsten filter to help with the yellowing due to the florescent light)
1. We can't get the camera to produce an accrate color profile of the items consistently. In the first picture, you can see that the color is more yellow and it's even distorting around the edges. The second picture is more accurate in terms of what the color looks like in natural light but we were never able to get that when we were shooting the guitar closer up.
2. For black guitars or guitars with black edges, we're losing the edges no matter what we try to do with the lighting.
Do we need more light? or just the light we have being reflected better? different lense on the camera? Any advice would be seriously appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Gels don't "diffuse" -- they merely change the color of the light. Sometimes you change the color for an effect (e.g. light a neutral background with a colored "gel" and put a different light on the subject.
For example... if your background were farther away and a neutral "white" then you could dedicate a light to the background with a colored gel so that the background color always complements the product color (complementary colors can usually be found by using a color wheel). This basically gives you the ability to make your background any color you want without physically changing the background.
Another good reason to put some distance between product and background is to create better separation of the product. The edges of the product can now pick up reflections that you can control and you wont have a black against black problem that you're having here. It also allows the background to fall outside the depth of field (the range at which things appear to be nicely focused) -- this allows you to deliberately blur the background and yet have a tack-sharp subject for even better subject isolation.
I can see the shadows are casting hard edges on the background -- which isn't a good look. When we talk about "diffusing" a light, what we really mean is that we make the shadows edges soft and gradual. If light originates from a pin-point source, you get a well-defined shadow. It has a hard edge. E.g. when you stand outside on a sunny day and look at your own shadow, you can see the shape of your body on the ground because that's considered a pin-point light source (the sun's angular diameter is only about 1/2º from edge to edge.) If, on the other hand, you shoot the light through a very broad diffusing material (such as a "shoot through" umbrella which has a diameter several feet across, NOW the light appears to originate from the entire surface area of the fabric on the umbrella. That nice broad light source means you don't get shadows with hard edges... instead things gently change from light to shadow and it's a much better look.
As I stare at the knobs and pickups on the front of your first image, I can see a very definite shadow with defined edges -- which we don't want. This is because your light source appears to originate from a small area (basically a "point source"). There are many ways to diffuse light... shoot-through umbrellas, reflective umbrellas, soft-boxes, etc. will all cuase the light to appear to originate from a very broad source.
You also mentioned you are struggling with white balance and getting the colors to show accurately.
The easiest way to handle this (and nail it) is to use something called a "gray card". When you use a white balance setting on the camera, that's just a good "guess" at the right white balance setting. But when you use a gray card you can be sure you actually have the correct white balance... every time.
The "card" is just a surface that's painted gray. But not just any gray will work. This gray is formulated to be guaranteed to be "color neutral" and the camera and post processing software expect this. There are two ways to use it.
If you shoot JPEG images (I always only shoot RAW) then you place the gray card in the IDENTICAL lighting that you will use to photograph your subject. In the photo below, I'd put the gray card right in front of the guitar. Center the card in the camera's viewfinder and get in close (it doesn't need to fill the whole camera frame, but it should cover most of the middle of the frame.). The camera doesn't even need to be focused (its almost better if it's not focused). Take a photo of the card.
If you shoot RAW, you just need one photo that has the gray card in it -- anywhere. It just needs to be in the identical light conditions as your product. Remove the gray card after you take this shot and then shoot the rest of your images as you normally would. This "gray card" image will serve as a reference image and will be used later.
Since the room lights are not technical a neutral "white" color (the light has a colored tint to it) it will alter the color of the gray on the card. This is what we want because know we have an object for which the camera actually KNOWS the true "color" and yet it can see the "apparent" color (caused by the tint of the light) and this lets the camera (or computer software) make the color correction to get the colors back to true color.
If you shoot JPEG you can use something called "custom white balance" (CWB). You'll go into the camera's white balance menu, pick the "custom white balance" (CWB) option. It will prompt you to select the image on your memory card which contains the gray card shot. Find and select that image. The camera will then analyze the apparent color of the card (compared to what it knows is the true color of the card) and will adjust the colors by subtracing the color tint from the image. Now... EVERY shot you take with that particular CWB setting will have the identical color correction applied. Just note that if you change your lights, move your product to a different spot, etc. then you have to shoot a new gray-card image and re-select it as the new CWB reference image.
If you shoot RAW (my preferred method) the camera doesn't do anything as you shoot... just make sure you captured one image with the gray card and then shoot the rest of your shots without the card.
When you unload the images into your computer software, you'll find the image with the gray card and you'll use your "white balance" tool (Adobe Lightroom is recommended if you shoot RAW -- there are others.) The tool will usually have an eye-dropper icon. Pick the icon and it'll prompt you to go pick a pixel from your image. Go pick a pixel on that gray-card you have in the photo. The software will apply white balance correction based on the gray card and that will fix that one image to have accurate white balance. Having done this, you can now "sync" that white balance correction to every single shot you took in your photo shoot (provided they were shot in the identical lighting). You've now applied white balance correction to the entire shoot.
I should warn you that the colors on your computer monitor are probably not accurate unless you own a color calibration tool and have calibrated the monitor. I use a Colormunki Photo (by X-Rite). The Datacolor Spyder is also popular. It has software that changes the color of your display to various calibration colors so the tool can determine how accurately your monitor displays color and it then creates a "profile" for your monitor so that the colors on your screen are true to real-life colors (otherwise when you think you have the color correct on YOUR screen, it may look wrong on someone OTHER screen.)
There is a little more to it... but that gets color pretty close. It turns out your camera may have various levels of sensitive to saturations of reds, greens, and blues that vary. So X-Rite makes a device called the "Color Checker". It has a card with colored squares on it -- you photograph the card, white balance it, and then pull up the image in their software and they can detect that even though the white balance is correct, certain color saturations may still need some tweaking -- and the software applies these adjustments for you. In the end you can be confident that the colors are bang-on accurate. If anyone else thinks the colors are wrong... it's their montior which is out of whack... not yours.

SanDisk eject error message and improper upload of pictures Aperture 3

My Macbook Pro seems to corrupt or damage SanDisks. I just uploaded a 16 GB disk which only uploaded about 30 out of 400 pictures into Aperture 3. It was a new disk. At first it showed all the pictures and looked as if it downloaded. When I ejected the disk, it gave the error message that I didn't eject it properly, which I did do carefully. Now I cannot view any of the pictures on the disk but it shows I have used 12 out of the 16 GB. I have tried numerous times to get it to upload the pictures and I see a brief image of the first picture then the space where the pictures are supposed to display, turns all gray. I have had this issue with other disks as well and it seems to be a pattern. Any ideas? I also don't know how to determine what operating system I have. Computer was purchased August 2011. Thank you.

Testing: Exporting a large TIFF - the original is 24512 × 23016 (564,2 MP), 1.05 GB
The exported file that I am seeing on my Desktop after 10 minutes, is showing this in the Preview:
But after exporting there was no message at - neither an error message nor the usual alert when finished "Export 1 version completed - Reveal ...".
So, I am not yet conviced that the export went well, but Aperture can export gigantic TIFFs.
What is the file format you have been using? My test was done with TIFF, 16 bit.

I was having problems burning DVDs' from iDVD and it turned out my burner is at fault.
I have a 27 inch iMac using a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H. Where can I buy a replacement in UK? I have seen these with SATA is this the correct cable for my mac?
I have also tried the Mac superdrive but my imac wont recognise it as it's been configured for macbook air and mini mac. I know I can "make" it work by doing something or other in com.apple/plist, but dont want to mess about in there.
I'm also told an external drive would work but does "mac compatible" mean only for air and mini as their own superdrive is or all macs?
Any help appreciated before I convince myself mac is no better than windows pc!

Thanks but this didn't really help.
I can buy the drives at a dozen places but none of them seem to know what connection is correct (SATA etc) and that includes the apple store. It was the store who told me buy the superdrive and all my problems would be over. Wrong! It isn't recognised by imac as it's confifured for air and mini mac. Only way to make it work is as i said in earlier post. (Would you be happy buying a car you were told would start and then discover you have to open the bottome and fiddle to make it go?)
The apple store I would not even consider taking it to. Days without the pc, over priced and don't have a good reputation for actually fixing things!
But thanks

I have upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 and found that all folders/files/pics have pixelated (either white or black) patterns on them. But it turns out fine when i open up the affected files/folders/pics. And this phenomenon persists after updating software.

I have upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 and found that all folders/files/pics in my disk drive have 'dotted' (either white or black) patterns on them. But it turns out fine when I open up the affected files/folders/pics. And this phenomenon persisted even after updating to the latest software. I proceeded to upgrade to 10.8 and updated the latest software thinking that this might resolve the problem but still stays the same way as it was. Could it be the Adobe flash player that is causing this problem? Please help.

Upload problems

I created a book in iBook Author and then used publish. Filled out all the fields and get on deliver:
ERROR ITMS-9000: "OPS/ibooks.ncx(5): 'p85': fragment identifier is not defined in 'OPS/content5.xhtml'" at Book
Any idea? Seems they have issues with the content they created.

I've just spent the last 5 days trying o figure this same issue out. IE ERROR ITMS-9000: "OPS/ibooks.ncx(5): 'p85': fragment identifier
And finally got sucessfull. It turned out to be the sample book how ever the error was giving me page 14 and page 47 as guideline. I have no page 47 so first off I thought that was strange. Anyway with out knowing it was the sample I first started hacking out sections and reuploading to try to narrow down the error. I cut the sample down to 1 page then hacked out the last sections and the middle sections where page 14 and 47 would be (even tho there is no pg 47 I hacked out the last pages).
Then started slowly introducing new sections as the uploads became sucessful. You don;t have to go through the whole upload however - just if you get to the point of uploading you have got past that nasty red error.
Fianlly I had the whole book back together and got a successful upload start - this then pointed my to the sample book that was the problem. So I just added a few pages back into the completely hacked down one and got a success.
Pretty frustrating - so lesson learned to not trust the page numbers they give you for possible errors.
Ultimately I have no idea what the error was.
Early on I did fix one + sign (this means the text box has more text and so the bottom of the text box shows a + sign indicating that the box needs expanding) ie it is not that there is a + character in the text. Early on I was confused with that from some of the other discussions. But that section was not in the Sample anyway so the initial error was not that issue. So back againt o still not knowing what is it was which is pretty frustrating in order to help anyone specifically.
However if you're getting this error I'd say then the best thing to do is make a paper written matrix of which sections you're cutting out then slowly add back in with test versions. I too the original file and made a duplicate then saved that - then cut heaps out then exported as ibooks test1. Then opened itunes producer and then opened the xxxxyyyyzzzz.itmsp then just went to assets and then dragged the text1.ibooks onto the assets page to replace the old ibooks version then hit deliver. When that was successfull I just copied a sections from the original into the duplicate and exported test2.ibooks then did the same to deliver.Finally whan the whole book was back together - and delivered fine it pointed to the sample where I repeated the process.
IE you don't need to create a whole new itunes producer delivery package for each test. Just replace the book assets. Whew otherwise that would be way long process.
Still waiting on Apple after 3 weeks to publish my previous books and completely frustrated. Hoping that they take some of the $98 Billion and put into customer service staff and ibooks review staff.

My Bionic will only show the first of a multiple upload of pictures on Facebook?

My Bionic will only show the first of a multiple upload of pictures on Facebook. A friend that has a Razor on Verizon is able to swipe through all the pictures of a multiple picture upload and see them all one at a time. I also find no way to Share on Facebook from the Bionic.
Thanks

Hi Jek!
I usually have a bunch of pics I want to upload at once too! Are you going to the Gallery>Select Multiple>Choose Pictures>Menu>Photo Share Facebook? Do you have your Facebook account set up through the application on the device? Are you using Facebook for Android? This needs to be setup in order to share. Let us know!
