Why are photos uploaded from my iMac Photo Library to my family tree rotated 90 degrees?

I installed the new Photos software update for OS X 10.10.3 last week and have enabled iCloud Photo Library.  I LOVE having the same interface to my Photos regardless of which Apple device I'm using and having any updates reflected everywhere but I'm running into a problem that I did not encounter with the previous iPhoto software.
I frequently take photos of other old family photos and documents of genealogical interest.  I may make simple edits to those photos in iPhoto (now Photos) to enhance, rotate, crop, etc. and then upload them to my family tree on ancestry.com  I've never had a problem with this in the past but with the most recent photos I've attempted to upload are all rotated 90 degrees left.  The photos are all right side up in Photos regardless of which album I'm viewing them from.  I've even tried exporting the photo (looking at it in preview, yes it's still right side up) but after uploading to ancestry.com, it's rotated.  Have I found a glitch or am I doing something wrong?  Can anyone suggest a workaround or something I could try to fix this?

If you use Screen Sharing you can run iPhoto on the iMac's library from your Mac Air just as if you were on the iMac itself.  Even dropouts wouldn't hurt as they would only show up a momentary curser lapses because everything was being performed on the iMac.
However, I am able to do everything but edit photos even though I'm logged in as the admin user for the Mac.  Give it a try and see if you can make it work.  Here's what I have setup under sharing:

  • Why are photos save as .jpeg instead of .jpg?  Can this be corrected?

    Why are photos save as .jpeg instead of .jpg?  Can this be corrected?  In certain applications I have to manually change the ending so that the application can open the photo.  Is there a setting to control to correct this?

    When I mail photos (via GMail) from my iPhone they are received on my PC as .jpg files, even if sent at full resolution.  Perhaps your e-mail service has imposed an attachment size limit, and in the process scales the attached picture down and alters the file extension?
    What happens if you e-mail a photo from your iPhone and open the message from a PC instead of the Surface?  What e-mail service are you using? (e.g. your ISP's service, or Yahoo, Gmail, iCloud, etc.)  When you send the photo from your iPhone, are you selecting a reduced resolution?

  • Why are photos again available on the fotostream even that I have deleted them?

    Hi,
    why are photos again available on the Fotostream, even that I have deleted them with using an iphone?

    Hi Ghallsa,
    I don't know why you believe that emails would be using 6go if you deleted them all.  I think you concluded this from the available space left and what you know is using space.  You have to understand that what is taking storage space is not only apps, music and emails.  There is also the iOS which is taking space as well as a lot of data cached on your devices that will usually be shown as 'Other' category if you are to look at your space usage from iTunes.
    If the total 'Other' space appears excessive, I suggest you should 'restore' your device (after a full recent backup); this sometimes helps to remove any data left behind.  But before this, try a look at Settings->General->Usage->Manage Storage.  This will list apps from the most space consuming to the less.  It could also help you to identify which apps may take to much of your precious space not only by apps size but also from the data the apps had stored.
    good luck,

    You may also want to check your space available as you only get 5GB free.  It's unlikely that this is what you are experiencing, but it can certainly cause you not to receive any emails that don't fit.

  • Why are there no sounds located in the Library/Sounds folder in Home Directory? My Mail alerts, etc

    Why are there no sounds located in the Library/Sounds folder in my Home Directory? Since upgrading to Mountain Lion most of my sounds are not working, in my Mail alerts, etc.

    Did you put any sound files there? Because if you didn't, that will explain why it's empty.
    The ~/Library/Sounds folder is where any sound files that you add go, and they are only available to you as the "logged in" user (if you have other users with their own accounts, they each have their own ~/Library/Sounds folder). Apple doesn't put anything there.
    The sounds that come with Mac OS X will either be in the /Library/Sounds folder (which is the shared location for all users) or the /System/Library/Sounds folder (don't mess around with anything in the /System folder!).
    But I doubt your problem has anything to do with the sound files. Try deleting your sound preferences file, or even just clicking around in the Sound system preferences until they start working again (seriously - I had one Mac that had some audio problems after upgrading, and just turning things off and on a few times eventually worked. It seemed somehow tied to Dictation, so try twiddling those settings too).

  • Why are photos being automatically deleted from my photo stream?

    I have three iDevices that use the same Apple ID:  an iPad 2 running iOS 7, an iPad 4 running iOS 6, and an iPod Touch running iOS 6.
    Up until a few weeks ago, they all lived happily together.  Whenever I saved a photo on any one of these devices, the photo would show up in the photo stream for all three devices.
    However, recently the iPad 2 has been mysteriously showing less and less items in the photo stream.  More and more photos disappear from the photo stream every day (only on this iPad; the other iPad and the iPod have all the same photos in the stream.)  The iPad 2 now has only 100 photos while the iPad 4 and iPod have 800+ in the stream.
    Why am I losing photos from the stream in the iPad 2, and why aren't the other devices behaving the same way?  I'm not deleting anything (at least, I'm not deleting the images that are mysteriously absent from the iPad 2), and there are no device storage space issues (plenty of space on each device).
    The iPad 2 seems to keep only about a week or two's worth of photos in the stream.  Does this have something to do with the versions of iOS that the devices are running?  I don't understand why this behavior would have suddenly changed within the last couple weeks, though, since the iPad 2 has been running iOS7 for quite some time.  It just seems to be arbitrarily happening now.
    How can I make my iPad stop removing photos from its version of the stream?  I'm an artist and use all my devices in back and forth fashion, so I need to them to all have the same photo stream content.

    My Photo is not a permanent storage space.
    The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.

  • Why are photos I deleted from Camera Roll re-appearing in CR when I put them into Albums from Photo Stream?

    Last night I deleted some photos from my Camera Roll (on iPhone 3GS) using cable connection to my PC. I then went to Photo Stream (the photos were, correctly, still in there) and put some of them in Albums in the Photos app. Some, but not all, have now re-appeared in Camera Roll - and, very unhelpfully, not in the order they were taken. I don't want these photos in Camera Roll but can vaguely accept and understand if the app HAS to copy the Photo Stream photos to Camera Roll if you put them in Albums and they are not in Camera Roll already but then why are there 2 photos (in different Albums) that this is not happening for?
    Any ideas/advice?

    Thanks for your comments.
    I connected the iPhone to my PC with the USB sync cable (I usually sync by Wifi) and opened the iPhone as a Windows window. Went to the relevant DCIM folder for the Camera Roll and Deleted them there. I checked on the iPhone before and after sycning that they had been deleted from Camera Roll - and they had. I only have one Camera Roll album (no chance of another album being synced).
    They remained deleted from my Camera Roll until I put the copies of the photos held in the Photo Stream album (which I purposely did not delete them from) into an album. They then appeared in my Camera Roll again. Now, if I delete them from Camera Roll again (either direct from iPhone Photo app or via USB cable) they still reappear in my Camera Roll if I put them in an album from Photo Stream. I can see it happen before my eyes as each one appears after I have selected the photos from Photo Stream, used Share to put them in an album and then go to Camera Roll - they pop up one at a time.
    It would make sense to some extent except that there are two photos (in two separate albums to the ones that are reappearing) that have definitely been deleted from the Camera Roll, have been put in their respective albums from Photo Stream but are not reappearing in Camera Roll. And, as far as I know, I did exactly the same things with them. I don't want to have the photos back in my Camera Roll but I cannot find any explanation as to why one set is appearing back in Camera Roll and these two are not.

  • Why are Albums missing from the Albums "tab" in Photos app?

    I just upgraded to the new version of OS X with the new Photos app.  All of my photos transferred over to the new app correctly, but not all of my Albums are showing up in the new Albums "tab" in the Photos app. 
    For instance, my "Honeymoon" album does not show up on the Albums "tab," but when I search for in the Photos app it will appear. 
    How do I get all of my Albums to show up on this tab?
    Additionally, does anyone know how to change the "timestamp" on photos?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Terence,
    I appreciate the reply, but that did not solve my issue.  Several of my albums are still "missing" from the list, even though I can find them when I search:

  • Why are photos multiplying?

    last i noticed I had 1500 photos in the organizer. It now says i have 5000 because for some reason I have 3 or 4 of the same photo. These are not ones i have edited and saved the original on, they just make clones of themselves late at night i think...
    I have Vista, for now and Elements 8.0
    Thanks for any ideas on why this is happening and any quick ways to delete about 3500 unwanted copies. oh..they are all uploaded right fom my camera to Photoshop, with the origenals deleted after.

    Are these photos present in the version set or they are present as individual copies? Can you check in the Find->By History->Imported on...what does it show there? What is the name of the photos that are duplicated?Is is the same name or some pre-fix is attached to them?

  • On apple tv why are photos too large on slideshow

    I set up album in my iphoto, 
    selected it on apple tv
    why are some photos too large and chopping off top of photos?

    When you first sync photos to your iPod, or everytime you add new photos, iTunes goes through a process of optimizing your photos for the iPod before actually sync'ing. You can see it countdown on the screen. The results are kept in the "iPod Photo Cache" folder.
    I was under the impression that this optimizing was more a process of collecting together 25 thumbnails and putting them together in a single file together so that it enabled the ipod to show 25 pictures at once with the option to select one.. Are you sure the thumbnails are actually altered in any way.

  • Why are photos are rotated when I post them on a forum?

    These pictures have been rotated in my photo Library to the best orientation (vertical) but when I upload them to a forum, they come out horizontal, requiring everyone to crane their necks to view them. The forum itself does not offer any photo editing, so I can't re-rotate them. I am uploading directly from my computer; is this my error? Will they be correctly oriented if I go through photobucket or another hosting site?

    quit going directly into your library to get them - export them and then upload - or click here for a longer discussion on how to safely and correctly access your iPhoto photos - be sure to follow the links.

  • TS4279 Why are photos rotated in iPhoto distorted in Aperture 3.4?

    Recently acquired Aperture 3.4 and merged existing photo library created in iPhoto. Now, all the photos that I had roated to vertical in iPhoto are distorted, with the image compressed horizonatally into the left half and the right half being **** bands of the photo's colors. Clicking "Create new version from original" provides an undistorted version, but it's a pain to do that all the time. Apparently others have also had problems after rotating images. Is there an easy fix?.

    Thanks, Kirby. I had tried this and tried it again. A pop-up says the image was edited in iPhoto and cannot be updated.
    That should not happen. If you imported an iPhoto 9.4 library, the edits in iPhoto should be editable in Aperture. How did you import your iPhoto library/libraries? And what version of iPhoto did create these libraries?

  • How can i remove my Photo Library ? i have two folders inside Photos which are Photo Library and Camera Roll, i can't remember how Photo Library got there but i wanna remove that folder and the photos inside + i really messed up

    someone told me to try iFunbox and delete thumbs file from filesystem so i did and now i have the same pics but only thumbnails when i click on one of them its black screen.
    mow after restarting my phone and syncing all photos and videos from camera roll are gone i think i messed up so bad and photo library folder looks so messy like a long black screen
    can someone tell me what to do ? i don't wanna restore and lose all my apps/games
    thank you

    You cannot remove photo library.
    It will always be there.  This is where all photos synced to iphone reside.
    Have you tried a reset?
    If that fails, then you will likely need to restore.
