Photo emailed upside down

I can't believe this bug is not fixed yet. I purchased the new IPad 3 and just love it. My first apple product. But it is very demoralizing to see messages three years old and to know that this is not fixed. All my friends that don't have an IPad are getting pictures from me. Upside down. They look ok to me when I view them on the IPad.

Not an iPad or iOS bug.

This is a Windoze bug. That swiss cheese for security garbage ignores the photo orientation info included with the a photo/video EXIF data for photos/videos captured with an iOS device.

I wouldn't know one way or the other. Apple says its windows, windows says its apple. All that I know is that I'm the consumer that supported both products and I'm left in the lurch.

I do know.

The photo/video viewing apps included with Windows ignores or doesn't recognize the photo/video orientation flag included with the EXIF data with photos/videos captured by an iOS device. 3rd party photo/video viewing apps for Windows don't have this problem.

I'm an all Mac user and often find photos I take with my iPhone having the wrong orientation when I try to upload them as attachments somewhere. I have to open them in Preview and resale to get the orientation info correctly saved. So to me it seems like an iOS issue.

I've been importing photos/videos captured by my iPhone with my Mac beginning with the original iPhone nearly 6 years ago and I do this on a weekly basis for personal use and for business, and not once have I had to change/reset the orientation on any of them.

Not an iOS issue.

I have it happen frequently. It must be an iOS issue.

Please provide all the posts and threads here by Mac users reporting this problem - after importing photos/videos with their Mac that were captured by their iPhone.

If an iOS problem, it wouldn't happen frequently. It would happen every time as it does with Windows users.

I'll be waiting for links to all the posts and threads you find.

I don't see a need to jump thru hoops and do message searches. And I don't see why you feel the need to deny my experience.

Of course you don't. You just pulled "it must be an iOS issue" out of your *** with nothing to back it up.

Why are you denying my experience?

I've imported photos with a Windows PC at my office that were captured by my iPhone and the orientation of photos captured in portrait view is always wrong. Import the same photos with my Mac and no problem - not once has that happened with now 5 different iPhone models over the last 6 years, and I do this on a regular basis. If it must be an iOS issue, wouldn't it happen at least once for me with my Mac in the last 6 years?

I'm not denying your experience, I'm saying it is not an iOS issue. If it must be an iOS issue, these discussions would be full of the same reported by Mac users. You wouldn't need to jump through any hoops - the posts and threads would be very easy to find.

Windows live photo Gallery is reading IOS orientation tags on my WINDOZZE.😉 Just humble recommendation for Windows users.

This doesn't help me a bit. It's still Apple blaming Windows. And why assume I'm using windows live photo gallery to view the pictures? I'm not, I use Paint Shop Pro. So it is there fault too?

I have exactly the same problem as several of the commenters above.

Take a photo with my iPhone 4S and email it. The email arrives with the photo upside down on my MacBook Pro.

However--and here's where it gets interesting--when I save the photo (which appears upside down in the email) to my desktop and open it with Photoshop Elements, it opens in the correct orientation.

There are some commenters above who seem to know everything; perhaps they can explain why this is Microsoft's fault.

I gave up trying to get an answer on this. In the end it always comes out to the same thing. Apple blames Microsoft and Microsoft blames Apple. It's hopeless. To get it to work properly if sending the pictures to an IBM platform I just shoot with the Ipad 'upside down'. What a sorry state of affairs for my first apple product.

Which by the way, I think is great but the answer to this kind of problem is ridiculous from Apple. Some of the most basic information is totally missing for new users in the Apple pdf manuals. They are terrible. Almost the worst I have ever seen.

These guys make outstanding products but they can't write a manual.

The Microsoft Support Engineer with an answer in this link isn't blaming Apple.
