When I take a picture with my IPhone and send it to my home computer, why do the pictures turn sideways or upside down (it's an HP windows computer)

When I take a picture with my IPhone and send it to my home computer (HP Windows) why does the picture turn out sideways or upside down?

OK, here's the explanation.  When you take a picture, the iPhone knows what orientation it is in (portrait, landscape, etc.) and adds that information to the picture's EXIF data so it knows which side is up.  Apple devices can decode this information and show the picture right side up when it is viewed.  However, Windows computers cannot do this.  They are not capable of decoding the orientation information added by the iPhone, so they are displayed in a default orientation (which may not be right side up).
This only happens on Windows machines, and unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it, except use the rotation buttons in Windows picture view to orient the photo correctly.

  • When i take a picture with my iphone and then forward the picture in an email (regardless of picture size) it will not send - any thoughts????? Thanks.

    When I take a picture with my iPhone and then forward the picture to an emaila ddress (regardless of picture size) it will not send the email with the pciture enclosed - any thoughts on how to fix ?????
    Thanks -

    The collum to the right listed similar problems.  The solution appears to be that under smtp outgoing settings the user name and password are listed as optional.  I have not plugged in the information and it seems to be working.  However from my office it always allowed the relaying.  The true test will be when I try to respond later from the road.
    Thank you for your help.

  • What is a hard boot and will it fix my grainy photos when I take flash photographs with my iPhone 5 in the deep dark?

    What is a hard boot and will it fix my grainy photos when I take flash photographs with my iPhone 5 in the deep dark?
    Someone said a hard boot fixed the problem above .....when I go outside in the dark and take a flash photograph the photograph is all grainy and dark something is wrong is a hard boot where you hold the power and the home button down the same time is that safe will it fix the problem is it a hardware or software issue please help i've had my phone for over year people at the Apple store and other people told me it will be fixed in a software update but now it's getting serious I hope they'll replace my phone if it's a hardware issue something is wrong and I am angry please help if you can

    The hard boot that I'm referring to in my case is relating to the iPhone not a Mac… five Years ago with my first iPhone three GS I believe it was someone at the Apple store told me have you tried a hard boot hard boot with my iPhone is where you hold the power button and the home button down at the same time for like 10 seconds or whatever and it shuts the phone off or reboots the phone
    let's say you have the phone on and you do that procedure that's what they referred to as a hard boot when it comes to the iPhone and I wanted to know if it was safe for the iPhone five to do a hard boot I did it with my 3GS with no problems
    I'm just trying to be able to take a photograph of something in the deep dark from 10 to 15 feet away and have it not look grainy and dark some have said and other discussions that it was a hardware problem and they have their phones replaced other said it was a software problem but you're saying and everyone else saying it's just because the flash and the sensor is too small

    Had you set your iPhone up to use Photo Stream?
    Had your performed an iCloud backup of your iPhone before it was damaged?
    If you did neither of the above, then your photos are not in the cloud, and they are gone.
    If you performed an iCloud backup, then it would contain the photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll (taken on the iPhone) at the time of your last backup.  You could restore this iCloud backup to a device.
    If your iPhone used Photo Stream, those photos are immediately accessible to your iPad if you set it up to use the same Photo Stream.

    When I select a photo on my iPhone and send it via email, the receipient receives it sideways. Any way to fix that?

    When you took this photograph your phone was being held in that way. Sideways, try taking the photo straight on. Or it is the Picture file itself, open up the application you edit photos with and rotate it to be proper orientation. I recently had the same problem but you either have to retake or edit it at this point.

  • Sometimes when I take pictures with my iPhone 5, he make weird thing (long pink stripes ) in the screen how can I repair this

    Bug when I take pics pink strip on my screen

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that didn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • Is there a way to take a picture with my iPhone and NOT hvae it go into my photostream?

    I take a lot of pictures that I use for reference, and then throw away later. I would like to not have to throw them away from my photostream also. Is there a way to tell the iphone not to send to the photostream?

    If you have more than 1 mac on a local network there... you can access firewire drives attached to other Macs if they are first set up to "allow windows guests" under system preferences>SharePoints. Windows 7 conveniently sees these "other macs" and their windows-friendly drives in windows Network view. My FW drives are easy to read and write too even though the are formatted Extended (Journaled).
    I'm not sure if there is any downside to this method... such as long file paths becoming broken down the road in back up situations. I have used these Mac drives in a network setting for awhile without consequence.

  • Why can't I take pictures with my iPhone 4?

    In some strange way i'm not able to take pictures with my iPhone 4 since a couple of days ago. In the begining it said that there weren't enough storage in iCloud something.. (it just suddenly stopped letting me take pictures, even though I was able to take one just a few hours ago, the same day.. I'm able to take print screens and it looks like this when I'm trying to take a photo). After some reasearch I do have enough storage at iCloud and also in my iPhone, which now makes me believe the storage isn't the problem.
    I've also restart my phone a couple of times, reseted it by pressing and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time (until the Apple logo appears) and updated/connected it to iTunes on my computer. What's next?

    And believe me, the roaming charges are truly frightening! 
    But in those spots where 4G/LTE works ok, speed is outstanding. So they can stick you with a HUGE roaming charge in a jiffy.....

  • My i860 canon printer is suddenly printing color pictures with light blue and darker blue horizontal

    My i860 canon printer is suddenly printing color pictures with light blue and darker blue horizontal lines.  I have changed the cyan blue cartridge and the problem still exists.  Does anyone know what the problem is?  Thanks.

    Hi CSM,
    We can perform a print head cleaning and alignment on the printer to try and resolve the issue.  To do this, please follow the steps below:
    PRINT HEAD CLEANING
    With the printer powered on, press and hold the <Resume/Cancel> button. 
    <1> Resume/Cancel button
    When the power lamp blinks once, release the button.
    Note:  The power lamp will blink and print head cleaning will start. The cleaning completes when the power lamp stops blinking.  (It will take about 30 seconds to a minute for the power lamp to stop blinking and remain lit solid green.)
    PRINT HEAD ALIGNMENT
    Confirm that the printer is powered on, and load Letter-sized white plain paper in the sheet feeder.  
    Note:  If paper other than Letter-sized white plain paper is loaded, print head alignment cannot be performed properly.  The automatic print head alignment must be performed from the Automatic Sheet Feeder on the top of the printer.  It cannot be performed from the cassette.
    Press and hold the <Resume/Cancel> button, and release it when the Power lamp blinks four times.  (The Power lamp will start blinking and pattern printing will start.)  
    Print head alignment will start automatically as the following pattern is printed.  
    Note:  Please wait approx. three minutes until printing is completed.
    Hope this helps!

  • Notes from my iPad won't synchronise with my iPhone and my iCloud portal, Why?

    I use icloud on all my IOS device and on my icloud portal from every computer I work with.
    All apps I see on the iCloud portal are very useful. I have begin to work with them and they are very useful because it is suppose to synchronise with my iPhone and my iPad as well. All exept for the Notes app. The information I wrote in stopped to synchronise a few months ago, I use to have the same information everywhere  but now some information I wrote on my iPad are not synchro with my iPhone and my "iPortal".
    Is there a way to force the synchronisation between all iCloud devices and portal?
    Where is the button?

    I have solved my problem...
    Thanks anyway

    I'm assuming you have Photo Stream set up of both devices.  However, it seems many users are experiencing the same as you - my take is that streaming photos is not foolproof yet.
