Why are images being copied from a linked library that aren't modified

I'm trying out the linked library feature and that is my preffered way of using iPhoto but I notice that many images that haven't been modified in iPhoto are being copied as full res modified images. My camera Nikon D2x supports auto rotation of verticle images which keeps me from having to manualy rotate these images. I understand that when I modify an image using iPhoto's tools that a full res image will be copied into a modified folder but why are images that have simply been tagged in camera as needing rotation being copied as well. Vertical images account for at least half of all images I shoot and diplaying them properly should be a look at exif or other metadata and applying rotation but since they are images straight from camera they shouldn't show as modified. Anyone have experience or suggestions on how to avoid having auto rotated images show as modified?

blinden:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I ran into that but in a different way. I had all of my image files in folders on a second HD and used another application to manage them. I decided to use iPhoto's alias method to work with the same files. I got a lot of files that were copied over as modified. Have no idea why. I ended up doing global revert to Original several times, watching the Modified folder via the Finder, until it became empty. I then closed iPhoto, dragged the Modified folder to the trash and then launched iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and rebuild the library using the first three options. That worked and got me a pristine library.
I had not figured out why that happened. I've had the auto-rotate turned off for about a year now. Had I know what was causing it I could have checked to see if all of those bogus modified files occurred before I had turned off that option in the camera. I'm guessing now that that's what I would have found. Thanks for the info.

  • Why can't we copy from the Link Info box anymore in CS5 Indesign? arrrrgggggh!

    Hi does anyone know of an update so we can copy image numbers from the Link Info box in Indesign? We can't do this anymore in the CS5 upgrade..... and I'm so over typing out the long stock numbers to order hires images.  It takes too much time! Thanks for your help in advance! Cheers, - Mel

    Thanks. It would be great to have that old function back again - just grab what we need from the long file name and not have to open a second program to edit. Hope they consider that for next updates. Cheers!

  • Why can i NOT copy from my itunes library to my Nano

    I have a Nano that was being ued on my girlfiend's old mac, but we no longer have it. Instead I want to use my computer at work as my itunes library. I have restored & reformatted the Nano to the PC, but it won't allow me to add any of the music from the itunes to the nano! What's going on?

    hiya!
    are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
    or is something else going on? if so, describe what happens when you try to transfer music to the nano as best as you can. err on the side of too much detail rather than too little.

  • Why can't I copy from Microsoft 2011 Word to apple postage stamp email?

    Why can't I copy from Microsoft 2011 Word to apple postage stamp email?

    You probably ended up purchasing a Mac OS X 10.6.3 DVD. I have posted previously about this. I will edit this once I find the post again.
    10.6.3 is incompatible with the Mac Pro you are using. You must install the version that came with your computer or newer. (Yours came with 10.6.4)
    If you do not have the original discs:
    There is another way to do this that I just remembered when one of my co-workers asked me if I had a 10.6.6 disc.
    You need two macs: NEW and OLDER.
    Connect NEW and OLDER via firewire cable. (NEWER is probably firewire 800, so you may need a firewire 400-800 adapter or cable)
    Boot NEW into "Target Disk Mode" by holding down 'T' at boot until the Firewire logo (looks like a Y) appears.
    Boot to Install Disc in OLDER.
    Once you have booted to the install disc, it is the same process as installing it onto the internal drive, except you need to choose the Drive in the other computer as the target drive. The drive that you want to install to will look like it's a firewire drive (so it will look like a mounted usb drive but with that 'Y' symbol on it.)
    MAKE SURE NOT TO INSTALL OVER THE GOOD DRIVE!!!!!
    Go ahead and install Mac OS X.
    Once it finishes installing and OLDER shuts down hold down the 'Option' key right after the chime. Select the drive that you just installed Mac OS X on. It should appear just as it did in the Installer.
    Once it has booted and you have logged in: run software update and update to the latest version of the OS. Once you have finished updating, shutdown the computer. Unplug the firewire cable. Turn off NEW, then turn it back on. It should work properly.

  • Why are we being pushed to upgrade to iOS 8 when it isn't compatible with Maverick?

    Why are we being pushed to upgrade to iOS 8 when it isn't compatible with Maverick? I just tried to open an iCloud document after upgrading to iOS 8 in all my Apple smart devices and OSX 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro, only to be told that the new iCloud isn't compatible with Maverick and that I should upgrade to Yosemite. Problem is, Yosemite is only available as a Beta and won't have a public release until Oct. 21. Why would Apple cut its users off from iCloud like this?

    plotdot wrote:
    Checking with my better half, I'm now even more perturbed. According the the iCloud Drive FAQ, it's compatible with PCs running Windows 7. The current Windows OS is 8, which means Apple made iCloud backwardly compatible with Windows, for PC users, but not for its own customers. That *****.
    iTunes customers are Apple customers, what are you going on about?

  • Why are images on page blinking after the OSX 10.9.3 update

    Why are images on page blinking after OSX 10.9.3 update on 5/21/14?

    I have finally been able to get the strobe effect stopped.  I've restarted at least 7 times and each time I got the light grey screen with the darker grey apple and the spinning wheel, but not the log in box I used to get before the 5/21/14 update.  But I called my son and he did some research and told me to hold down the Shift key and type in my password, even if it didn't appear in the log in box.  It worked and the log in box appeared and I was able to type in my password.  After doing this for each of the 7 times, on my last attempt it appears the strobe effect has been weeded out.  Thank God - I thought I was going blind with it affecting every screen I was on.
    I hope this will be of help to someone.

  • My deleted emails on iPhone 4s are not being deleted from server

    I'm facing a problem with my iPhone 4s when deleting emails. Unfortunately, they are not being deleted from the server. I tried setting the account in pop and imap with settings to delete from server and trash ticked. Still they keep on appearing in Outlook which is a double work to do. Please advise.

    I'm no expert by far, but have had issues with this before.
    IMAP should allow your iPhone to remove messages from the server.
    But have you made sure both the iPhone and Outlook are connecting via IMAP?
    If your iPhone does remove the messages from the server, but your computer is using POP, then the computer may download the email before it is removed form the server by your iPhone.
    This was my issue, that my computer had already downloaded the message, and POP does not check later if it is deleted.
    If you delete a message from Outlook does it disappear on the iPhone?
    Alternativly you may need to check the email server settings.
    Who is your email provider?
    They may be able to check if IMAP allows you to remove emails.
