Wrong GPS information on Photos app

Hi, i just update and import 600 new pics from my iPhone to the new Photos library in my Mac. After all the new photos where imported i noticed the GPS info is wrong.
It says the pictures where taken on Shymkent City - Kazajistan, Jorasen - Iran or even Jorasen - Afganistan. Those are places i never went (all the photos where taken on Argentina, where im from).
I check my Photos library on my iPhone just to see if the GPS information was wrong there too but no, all the photos have the correct info in the iPhone library.
Any chance or idea how to fix this ? is pretty annoying.
Im using iOS 7.1.2 in my iPhone 4s and 10.10.3 in my mid 2010 White Unibody Macbook.

Okay turned off GPS, but my phone is the version 4.2.2 and I cant find geotagging or GPS tag, alI I see is location tag. This is whats confusing me and I am pretty much computer / electronic literate. This will probably annoy me until I figure it out I am hoping Location Tag is the GPS tag or as you say Geotagging. If you have anymore advice please reply.
Thanks BTW

Add or edit geotag (GPS) data with Photos App

Geotag is an EXIF metadata associated with a single photo that give the geographical location of where the photo has been taken. At this time, the geotag EXIF is fully supported by Photos (we see the location on a map) and we have the option to strip the information when we share the photo. To work with Photos, the EXIF geotagging info must be embedded with the photo when it is transferred from the camera to the Photos App.
However, many cameras don't have a GPS that sets the photo location. The geotag must be added later manually. Some photo editing software strip EXIF data (or just Geotag data) and sometimes these photo editor apps set geotag of their own (the location where the picture is edited, not the original location where the picture comes from).
It would be nice to add a geotag addition/edition feature to Photos.app.

Now that iCloud drive keeps the photo library synced between all devices it would be nice if there was a way to edit tags, geotags, descriptions, etc. on iCloud.com as well as IOS.
I tested to add GPS using AppleScript, but most of the EXIF field are readonly and we cannot change the GPS tags with Apple Script in iPhoto. It was possible to do that in Aperture, but does not work in Photos.
Right now, it is best to add GPS before importing to Photos.

Add gps information to photo using Photos

With the latest Photos App, I didn't find a way to manually add GPS information to a Photo. I am talking about Photos APP on OS X Yosemite. Not iPhoto.

Sorry, but the Photos.app does not (yet) support this feature.
Use iPhoto, or any other app that you have. I make sure, that all photos have GPS tags before I import them to Photos.
Send feedback to Apple with a feature request. Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
For the time being, use iPhoto for the geotagging and import the tagged photos to Photos.
If you are comfortable with the Terminal use the free exiftool:
See: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool_pod.html#geotagging_exampl es
To install exiftool: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/%7Ephil/exiftool/install.html
Other convenient apps are Jetphoto Studio, Geotagalog, there are many more ..

Add gps information

I know the all new Photos is not a Pro app like Aperture. But in Aperture it was possible to add gps information to photos quite easily. I was able to track my GPS with an App on the iPhone, export the data to an gpsx file, import that to Aperture and then drag the first photo to the route and all other photos where placed accordingly to the time they where made on the route.
Is there anything similar possible with the new photos? Do I need to use another app for this in the future?

No.
Yes.

Gps locations where I take my photos (in the photos app, under places).

I'm thinking about upgrading to the iPhone 5 but I want to keep the gps locations where I take my photos (in the photos app, under places). Is there any way that I can transfer this information to an iPhone 5?

Photos have wrong date information

Hey there, after the OS X update all of my photos have been automatically imported to the Photos app. Nevertheless, half of my gallery has a wrong date information. Don't know why. I deleted all of the photos and imported them again from the iPhoto. Despite the fact, the dates are correct in iPhoto, same problem appeared again. Can anyone help me with this issue, please? Thanks in advance!

Well, the photos didn't come from Aperture. In iPhoto, all the dates are 100% correct, so I don't need to use that tool. Thank you for the link, but it also didn't help me... :/ But I have totally the same problem as the guy.
Some photos, when imported, display as being taken at the time and date imported rather than the actual time taken.
This only happens with some photos, like maybe one out of every couple dozen. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it -- they are not all taken with the same device or in the same time period. It seems totally random which photos are affected.

How do I export an album from the iPhone Photos app in a form that retains location information so I can import it to ArcMap or Google Earth?

I have an iPhone 4S with OS 5.1 installed and I have taken several hundred photos that are geotagged and that show up in the Places page in the Photos app. These were taken for field work and have data in them that we want to use to tie information in the photos to locations in a GIS application. Therefore I would like to be able to export the mapped locations along with the photos in a way that would allow me to upload the locations to ArcMap or to Google Earth. I know that the individual photos have location information but the process of uploading them to Panoramio one at a time is labor-intensive, whereas I can take an entire album in the Photos application and quickly display locations tied to photos on the screen.
Also these photos were taken before I enabled iCloud on my iPhone and I'm wondering how to upload them even though they were taken previously. When I go into the "share" menu my only options are email, tweet, message, and print. I'd like to send the whole album to iCloud so I can at least bring it back into applications on my Macbook Pro.
Does anyone have a recommendation as to how I can go about doing either of these things?

This is something that I want to do as well. I'm new to applescript, but I found this script:
http://www.bagelturf.com/aparticles/tips/tipprint/index.php
Go to about half way down the page. The script works well, but I'd like to change it so that I only export Versions w/ a specified "main rating" (or greater than a minimum rating)
If you look at the script, there's a line:
"set theimages to every image version as list"
FYI: "image version" is an Aperture class that represents an image version. "main rating" is a property of "image version"
Is there a way to modify this applescript statement to spec only those "image versions" that meet a min "main rating"? I tried a bunch of things, and none of them compiled. (I need to learn Applescript)
If not, then how could this be done w/ a little loop in Applescript?
Thanks for your help!

I have an original iPhone running version 2.2.1. I wish to get rid of the phone, but before discarding it I want to remove the email records, phone book information, and photos. I would like to leave the other apps in place. Any suggestions?

Delete you mail account on the phone and disable to sync your mail account in the info pane in iTunes with your phone connected, same for contacts. Also deselect photo syncing in the photo pane. After the following sync, your mail, contact and photos should be gone.
Photos inside the camera roll have to be deleted on the phone.
Remember, that apps only can be used with the account they were bought with. If the phone will be set up with a different iTunes account, all of your apps will be removed.

Nokia Photos Upload misses GPS Information in Ovi ...

Hi,
since I upgraded to Nokia Photos version 1.6.434 (from 1.5.x), the GPS location information is no longer uploaded (the location information works properly inside Nokia Photos and I did check the checkbox for uploading of the GPS information).
Any hint for this?
Thanks.

Where can I find the "event" information I had in iPhoto events in new photos app?

Just upgraded to OS X and the new Photos app and I am having a hard time adjusting from iPhoto where I had (happily) organized years of photos into events. I can see my 771 "events" now called albums in a sub-album called "iPhoto events" HOWEVER, I cannot seem to find/view the little notes or summaries of event information that I had inputted in iPhoto. I often wrote a brief (or detailed) bit of information, anecdotes or fond memories about various "events" and now I am frustrated that might all be gone. Can anyone help?

Oops Sorry Jumped the gun again! i found out how to do it. I was using my jot touch styles which mean you have to hold down the icon on the upper left with the styles then use your fingers to do the pinch and zoom gesture to make it work

Using locations in photo app for pictures with GPS info

I used a program (Geosetter) to add GPS data to my pictures taken on my camera. However, when I put the pictures on my iphone they dont show up under the locations section in the photo app - is there anyway to fix this?

Many modern cameras add GPS co-ordinates and these will usually show in the info panel of the Media module under Camera Data >> GPS
I guess your exif tools work differently to a camera. Are you able to embed the metadata into the image files before importing into PSE Organizer?

What the **** is wrong with this Photo app?

This new Photo app is not working very well, i can't just simply press "delete" button to delete a photo anymore, really? And I wish I had not deleted my iPhone app... ****!

Appreciate it! I am more of a PS6 and Lightroom person, I only use iPhone to manage small Albums when I am on a time crunch... now it seems a little more difficult to do with Photo app. I guess I will have to get used to that. I don't do edits in iPhoto, just albums, create and delete after upload them to my website. Wish Apple would have a "trash" folder on the sidebar like they did with iPhoto, so we can just drag and drop to "Trash" on what we need to delete.
or even keep it iPhone looking but add all new features and keep the old ones as well lol

Why Photos app uploads SO MANY photos to iCloud? Something's Wrong.

I have about 400 photos in My Photo Stream on my MAC, and my iPhoto library also had about the same number.
And it shows that in Photos app I have about 400 photos. But below that number, it says it's uploading more than 1000 photos to iCloud?? What is it uploading?? All my small bits of images files (not photos) that I have stored on my computer? Like graphic design related small icon images I have or something??? If not, why is it uploading so many??
Please help asap.
Thanks.

Well, I understand your frustration, but there is a much simpler way -- why not transfer the video from iPad to PC via the sync cable? That is a whole lot easier and faster than using iCloud as an intermediary. Besides, sending photos and videos to iCloud cuts their resolution down, so that's what will get downloaded to your PC. If you go direct, you get the original resolution. Part of the delay's you're seeing may also be due to the resolution conversion before uploading.
Also, have you checked your Wi-Fi speed? Particularly the upload link, which is normally much slower than download speeds.
Also, when you create a Shared Photo Stream, you don't actually have to invite anybody, not even yourself. Just set it up and start adding photos and video, and add people later if desired.

Wrong email address when sending a photo out of Photo app

Hi all,
when sending a photo on my iPhone 4 out of the photo app and selecting a "from" email address (like [email protected]), the photo get's sent through an email address (like [email protected]). The [email protected] is configured in the settings just as calendar, no emails, no notes.
This is so strange! Has anybody a glimpse of a notion how to get rid of this problem?
Cheers.

You can try resetting network settings then all settings. Goto Settings>General>Reset>Reset network settings or all settings. You will need Appleid and Wifi to reenter after reset. If that is not working then go settings>mail contacts calendars>tap account>delete. Now tap add account and reenter it.
