I can’t rotate any of my new iPhone4S pics once they’re offloaded to my computer. They appear fine on the phone, but aren’t rotated correctly once they come off. Interestingly, there seems to be no rhyme or reason to which are not rotated (I thought it might be all photos taken from the front-facing camera, but that’s not the case). If I try to rotate them using Win7’s built-in Rotate feature, I get this:
They are NOT read only. It does NOT happen with iPhone4 photos (which I have been using for the past year)—just 4S. I shut down iTunes and they still wouldn’t rotate. A reboot did nothing. If I Preview it and try to rotate it, I get this:
Which leads to no Help information. 🙄
BUT!! If I open it directly into Photoshop, it opens with the correct rotation, at which point I just save it and then the thumbnail is correctly rotated.
I have a TON of friends with the new iPhone so we can compare stories…and only one other person has commented on the same problem. I can’t believe we’re the only two this is happening to… Anyone? Anyone?
I’ve submitted Feedback to Apple with the bug, but of course I don’t hold out much hope for a fix unless thousands of other people are submitting the same bug without actually Twittering or Facebooking about it.
