Latest with EXIF Date ?
iPhone 6.0.3 to iMac 10.6.8
Can someone explain the latest state of play with EXIF data ? (My search only linked to 3yo questions).
Some photos I take with the iPhone Camera App transfer with full EXIF and some don't. Two photos five minutes apart this afternoon ... one with one without.. !
Is there any difference between using the open apps on each device, as opposed to using the IP transfer via web browser ?
I also find it really frustrating that when I list photos in folder in 10.6.8 I cannot view them in the correct date order, they insist on listing using ONLY the date which they were transferred :-(
Tks guys !!

Did you send us the sample photos to our support inbox: support [at] phototransferapp [dot] com? I looked there but couldn't find an email from you. Let me know.
Also, tell me how you are looking at the EXIF headers. One possible scenario is that for the first photo you took there was no GPS fix and therefore the first photo does not have the lat/lon info on it (if that's what you are looking at) and for the second photo it acquired GPS info and set the GPS EXIF headers.
Let me know how you are looking at the EXIF data (what program you are using) so I can try to replicate the same scenario.

I am viewing the EXIF using Preview/Tools/Inspector/EXIF tab.
I understand your point about GPS, but does that mean NO EXIF data would be saved ? I would have expected the other EXIF data to be included even if the GPS is not available.
Again ... thanks for your help and interest.

Thanks for contacting us. Our app transfer photos exactly as they are stored on the iPhone including the EXIF headers. However, if you download a single image from the web browser or use 'right-click + save as' over one image on the web browser it may not save the headers since the browser takes just the image information and ignores the headers.
So, we recommend you to always use either the zip download or the desktop app to transfer your photos and ensure the EXIF headers are present.
I hope this is useful. Let us know if you have any other question or comment.
Best,
Enrique
Photo Transfer App
To be totally clear - I ALWAYS launch the desktop App, and the iPhone 5 App in parallel, and inside the Desktop App I choose the photos I want to download and click on "Download Selected".
yet .. two photos taken five minutes apart and downloaded in the same batch ... one has EXIF and one does not. This is happening regularly.
Interesting. Did you take both photos with the same app? Also, how are you looking at the EXIF data, what software are you using? I'm asking to see how to replicate this.
I do have other camera apps. However I have not used one for weeks and I know that on this day ( this Sunday past) I used the click-on----slide-camera method to go straight in to Camera mode to take all of my photos. Thus it MUST have been the iPhone's own camera app.
I attached two photos to an email version of this reply, taken a few minutes apart late Sunday afternoon - perhaps you have ways of confirming this ? Excuse the banality of the photos :-)
This is not a rampant problem but looking back over my photos it is happening from time to time. Perhaps it is down to some kind of iOS issue outside your control.

Howard
