I'm having trouble with pictures from my iPhone, when I put them on my computer, they're the correct way up, when I upload them to here, they appear either upside down or rotated 90 degrees.
if I rotate them and re-upload them, they still upload rotated incorrectly and it's doing my head in!

This is probably to do with the CS garage not reading the EXIF rotation tag.
Basically you have two options.
1. Use some "heavier" software to do the image rotation, like Photoshop or Gimp.
2. Upload your pictures to a website that has been updated in the last decade and reads EXIF tags.
I'd recommend uploading to Flickr.

I'd say it's not even modified the rotation data and it's just the phone working it out and displaying it correctly. Iv found you have to edit the photo on your phone and set the rotation like that.
Alternatively upload the fb and see the rotation there

I thought that Steve but the computer displays it correctly too, which seems odd.
Can't upload to FB as I deleted my account.
Will have to try photoshop later.

How would the phone and computer know the orientation of the images without any data to tell them?

Balling has hit the nail on the head..
Your phone takes the photo which ever way around you have the phone, it then marks the photo with the position of the phone so it can be displayed correctly..
This Forum software was used by Noah on his Ark Blog so don't expect it to work correctly.

Open in photoshop. It should open with the correct orientation, if not just use "rotate canvas".
Then "save for web" and set the image size to what you want. If you're uploading to the CS garage, I'd recommend scaling width to 1024px as CS compresses the shit out of large images.

Good old Apple, take the picture the so the 'shutter' button is on top, then it turns out to be the wrong way round!

How did you conclude that it's Apple's fault?
As I said, if you use software from this century (eg. not CS) then it works just fine.

Mainly because the with the shutter (volume) button on top, the pictures upload completely upside down.
If anything, the should be rotated 90 degrees, not 180.
That is Apple's fault, the data held in the phone is incorrect as 1/4 turn to the right does not make the phone upside down.

The data held on the phone is identical (i.e. the photo is upside down) its just the software on the phone was written this millennium so it knows how to handle it.

You've already stated that the photo shows correctly on your PC and phone. How could that be if the data is incorrect as you put it?
Again, the phone does exactly what it's supposed to do.

It's got nothing to do with Apple - I asked a question on Stack Overflow a few years ago about it, I keep getting points for it
