Why have my pictures been rotated after sync?

picture taken in 'normal' iPhone position (portrait) are downloaded and viewed in the same position on my mac. so far so good... but when i sync the folder i put them in back to my iPhone, they have been rotated 90°. why is this and how to avoid that?

I am not sure if this will help but here is what i noticed. I took some pictures on the iPhone in portrait mode. When i sync these over to my PC they are rotated 90 degrees to landscape mode. If you think about, this is how a normal camera works - 4x6 pictures are landscape, so if you use the camera in portrait (6x4) by rotating the camera, then transferred pictures are sideways on the PC.
In windows XP, i can view the pics in explorer in thumbnail view and right-click -> rotate-right
Interestingly enough, when i got a pic emailed to me that was taken in portrait mode by regular camera, and then rotated so it looked portrait on the screen on a pc (6x4), the iphone saved it as a 4x6.
So it seems that the PC assumes images transferred in should always be displayed as in a landscape mode unless rotated. And the iPhone exhibits the same behavior - an email image in portrait mode saved to the iPhone is saved as a landscape (this ***** as rotating the phone, rotates the image, so it is always sideways). And this holds for synced images. If i take a picture with the iPhone in portrait mode, copy it to the PC where it is sideways because it is displayed in landscape, and then sync it back to the iPhone (without rotating it), the iPhone displays it sideways (landscape mode).
The real solution is to be able to rotate and save the pic on the iPhone.

  • Duplicated pictures in iPhoto after syncing

    Hello all,
    Problem:  After syncing a folder of photos from my iMac to iPhone I end up with x2 folders on my iPhone.  One is the album I am syncing and the other is named Photo Library. These folders are duplicates of each other and as a result iPhoto shows duplicates of every photo under the Photo section of the app.
    This doesn't happen on my iPad and I can't delete any of them from my iPhone.
    Is this a design flaw or am I doing something wrong?
    Many Thanks
    James
    iPhone 4S and software is fully up to date

    I have the same problem x 2   with 2 folders with the same pictures.
    I went to Apple store and they said to connect to Itunes and then I could delete unwanted folders but I cannot.
    I cannot connect to Itunes and delete these unwanted photo albums. 
    I see posts here with people saying the photo libraries only point to the pictures already stored on my computer backup but why do they stay on my IPhone 5 when I detatch the phone from my computer (not Mac). 
    I believe it is chewing up phone memory (16G) so I do not have enough for my podcasts and music..  Or is it that I have to buy another Iphone?????

  • Why have I not been notified of Software Updates?

    Two aspects of what is perhaps one general problem here.
    One, I normally log into my MacBook as a non-administrator user and so don't then expect to be informed of Software Updates. If I've heard of them via MacFixit or whatever, then I know to run Software Update manually, authenticating as an administrator. Recently, however, I switched on my MacBook, logged in as an administrator and, when no notification of a software update was given to me (the administrator user has "Check for updates daily" and "Download important updates automatically" checked), decided to start System Preferences to look at the Software Update status. To my surprise, it had a message about not having been able to connect to the Internet, even though immediately after this I did have a working wireless connection. It seems that if I login as an administrator before the connection is made, Software Update terminates without having found any waiting updates. This has presumably been put there every time I've started up as administrator, which explains why I've never been notified of a software update - or alerted to this problem! Isn't this rather dangerous?
    Two, I logged on today as my normal non-administrator account, got a wireless connection, and browsed the web a bit. Then I logged off and logged on again as an administrator. The System Preferences Software Update panel showed "Last check: Software update ran successfully" with a time just after my login as an administrator. I presumed that all was well, that my system was completely up to date, but decided on a whim to press the "Check now" button. Imagine my surprise when I saw that three updates, including MacOS X 10.5.4, awaited me! So, why wasn't I notified of these updates immediately I logged in as administrator?
    How many MacOS X users are there out there who, because of this behaviour, not having applied updates - even security updates - manually, have insecure unpatched systems? If the problem is widespread, shouldn't someone be alerting Mac owners to the need to keep our systems updated?

    Fortunately the Mac environment doesn't suffer from major security flaws that need urgent patching (contrary to the implication in the Mac help file) and so there is little drama in delaying updates. I personally do not install updates until some time after release so that any bugs can hopefully be ironed out.
    However that doesn't address why your software update is not doing its job. You could look at this page to see whether it is any help:

  • HT1386 My Safari bookmarks have disappeared from my iphone after syncing

    Lost all my bookmarks after syncing, what gives?

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:

    Quit Safari.
    Select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder

    A folder window should open. Restore the file named "Bookmarks.plist" in that folder from a backup that predates the unwanted changes.

  • Order of pictures in Flickr after sync?

    It seems that after I synced an iPhoto album to Flickr, the images in the Flickr set appear in the order in which I added them to iPhoto. Quite annoying, I'd rather have them in the date order as in iPhoto.
    Is there a way to get this done?

    Hmm, I know I can manually sort pictures in Flickr, but I'm a lazy person and like the default sorting in iPhoto just fine. It's kind of annoying to have to go to flickr for every set I upload and reorder the pictures.

  • Why have my playlists been multiplied?

    My family has recently started using iCloud and my MacBook and my iPad are both synced with it. I created a playlist on my iPad and even though I have now deleted it it has also shown up in my library on my MacBook, except it has been duplicated a lot. I think this is what is slowing down my iTunes, because ever since this has started it has taken forever to start up and then it becomes non-responsive after a little while.

    I feel like a bit of an idiot, sorted this problem myself!
    Somehow, and i have no idea how, i managed to uncheck/untick all 114 songs on the playlist that didnt appear to transfer to my iphone or my ipod.
    Having seen this by accident i rechecked/ticked them and would you believe it, all is well again!
    My faith in Apple is restored, my faith in my IT skills is a little dented.

  • Why have my emails been blocked from downloading?

    The email below was sent to me saying I have been automatically removed from the CCLIST1 list (Calorie Count Monday) as  a result of repeated delivery error reports from my mail system and indicating my email account does not exist and that I may be permanently unable to receive emails on my OS and iOS devices.
    This is the second time in three months it has happened. At that time I couldn't find any help on the web or from computer-savy friends regarding how and why it happened or how to rectify the situation. After a week or two my email was permanently blocked and I had to change my email address and contact a couple hundred people and businesses with the new address -- many hours were spent doing this. I could still read my emails and send them on my service provider's website, CenturyLink. This was very helpful as many of the web accounts I had required email address verifications before they would accept account information changes.
    My internet/email service provider tried to help by having me redo setting up the Mac Mail account on my iMac. That didn't work. I also went online to Apple to again use the method for resetting the Mail account as well as look for answers.
    I received the email below yesterday, so hopefully I have some time to solve the problem before my email is blocked from downloading to my devices.
    Any advice and step-by-step directions on rectifying this problem would be very much appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Bonnie

    You have been automatically removed  from the CCLIST1 list (Calorie Count
    Monday) as  a result of  repeated delivery  error reports from  your mail
    system. This decision was based  on the list's automatic error monitoring
    policy and has  not been reviewed or otherwise confirmed  by a person. If
    you receive  this message, then it  means that something is  wrong. While
    you  are obviously  able  to  receive mail,  your  mail  system has  been
    regularly reporting  that your account  did not  exist, or that  you were
    otherwise permanently  unable to receive  mail. Here is  some information
    that may assist you  or your local help desk in  determining the cause of
    the problem:
    - The failing address is [email protected].
    - The first error was reported on 2014-01-06.
    - Since then, a total of 2 delivery errors have been received.
    - The last reported error was: 5.1.0 Probe failed
    PLEASE DO  NOT IGNORE  THIS MESSAGE.  While you  can re-subscribe  to the
    list,  it is  important  for you  to  report this  problem  to your  mail
    administrator so that  it can be solved. This problem  is not specific to
    the CCLIST1 list  and may also affect your private  mail. This means that
    you may have  lost some private mail  as well. Anyone trying  to write to
    you during  the same time frame  might have received the  same errors for
    the same reason."

    I read a few more discussions on this problem elsewhere on-line with the suggestion that I had a bug on my computer that hijacked my email account to send emails elsewhere (not that I had any clue on how to discover that on my computer).
    I followed the suggestion to access my email account on-line and change my password and make it stronger. I did that and was able to get my emails downloaded to my computer and other devices.
    I'm pretty sure that my original problem started when I unsubscribed from the Calorie Counter on-line newsletter by pressing a link at the bottom of the email I received from them. A screen came up that said I was unsubscribed and then disappeared in a flash.The experience seemed odd and weird compared to other times when I've unsubscribed from something.
    As a test I resubscribed to the newsletter and then unsubscribed. I was directed to one of CCounter's internal web pages and went through a couple of steps in order to finish the process... all very professional and obviously on the newsletter's website.
    So the lesson I learned was have a strong password for my email and change it occasionally. And do the same for other accounts that are password protected.

  • Why do my pictures become blurry after exporting from lightroom 5?

    My pictures become somewhat blurry or not as sharp after I export them from lightroom 5. PLEASE HELP!!!

    If you are looking at your exported pictures in preview.app than that is the culprit. It uses an extremely poor downscaling algorithm for displaying large images and will make every large image, no matter how sharp originally, display blurry. In preview you can hit command-0 (that's a zero) to make the image display 1:1 to see the actual detail. Make sure you have it's preferences in the images panel set to "Define 100% scale as 1 image pixel equals 1 screen pixel". I think in older Mac OS X versions, it was called something like ignore image dpi for display or so but I don't remember. You can also make sure to downscale (with correct output sharpening in the export panel) upon export from Lightroom. If the exported image is smaller than the display, Preview should display 1:1 by default upon opening.

  • Why have my Entrourage and iCal stopped syncing?

    After months of working flawlessly, new events in Entourage have stopped syncing to iCal. Short of wiping out my old Entourage calendar in iCal and re-importing, how can I get a new event to show up in iCal?

    If you upgraded the iOS version on them to iOS 7, and you haven't upgraded your iTunes to at least 11.1 then that could be the cause of your issues.

  • Why itunes doesn't start anymore after sync another iphone?

    Hello geeky friends,
    please help me to clear the following matter. I tried to sync another iPhone using the mobile owner account for the iTunes as well. After an error window popped-up (error 13014) than i'm even unable to start the program anymore, why? how to solve?
    thanks for the support & god bless Steve Jobs!!!

    the problem is solved ! I completely removed Itunes and all other Apple Software from my computer. Then I downloaded Itunes64Setup.exe again and installed it, without being connected to the internet and with my antivirus and firewall turned off.
    This worked !
    Kind regards,

  • Why have i never been here

    After being away from this forum, as well as the lightroom and camera raw forums, for 24-48 hours, i am no longer recognized. The discussions i started are not listed and no points have been awarded and no unanswered questions from me are listed. I do see my user name at top.
    I feel stupid asking about this, but has something changed at adobe or has my computer lost my identity. My computer is unchanged. iMac i7 with os 10.6.4
    I have a feeling i am going to be embarrassed by asking this question.
    BE GENTLE.

    Do you have multiple Adobe IDs?
    If you do this may happen if you are not observant on if you are logged in or not at the Forum page (not at the top of the page whcih very well can show you as logged in).
    I have 4 different Adobe IDs (don't ask, it's historical) and some of them point to the very same Adobe account that shows at top of the page, some to another. I don't dare to delete any user account as I have software registred in some of those accounts. If I am logged in as my main AdobeID via the Forum page and am inactive for a certain amount of time, it sometimes happens that the Adobe site all by itself switches my identity. I only see that when I answer something. So if you see something from me where I've been a member since 2009 that's the wrong ID. The right one is from 2002.

  • Why have my bookmarks been turned into Bing Searches for those sites? Why do I get a Bing Search when I manually type in the address?

    Ever since I installed FireFox 4, I seem to have lost the function of my bookmarks. They simply open up Bing Searches for those sites. I don't even like Bing, why does it keep getting installed into my Firefox?
    When I type in the address manually into the address bar (NOT the search bar), I get a Bing Search for the address as well.

    I think an add-on has hijacked your browser. If this started with Firefox 4, are you sure you installed the official package from http://www.mozilla.com/ ?
    In past threads similar to this, people mentioned a Zugo Search Bar, but I haven't dug into it deeply.
    First, make a backup of your Firefox settings for safekeeping: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
    Next, try starting Firefox in Firefox
    [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
    Does running Firefox without add-ons fix it?
    If so, you could disable them all and then gradually restore the ones that are most valuable to you.
    If not, there might be some external software intercepting Firefox's communications.
