If the photo wasn't pre-rotated in camera, you'll want to open it in a photo editor/browser, rotate it there, and save it. Then you can re-upload. Make sure it actually rotates the pixels instead of saving the rotation in the metadata, which is what some programs do.

If you have photoshop, the rotation took there would work perfectly.

Look on the threads I started. I asked the same question a while back.

Has to do with recent versions of Windows and MS inability to appreciate that some changes they make in how their stuff works cause confusions.

The solution Adam recommended is essentially the same. I was caught out with one of those variations to software inflicted by update downloads when there was nothing wrong with the functionality before. So the same idea of having display settings and saved image characteristics separated seems to have afflicted Apple too.

I was using a MacBook but it got old and now is unable to operate for more than a few minutes without restarting. Sad, but I cannot remember which year it was new. About 2008 to 2010 period so it had a long life, even if not heavily used.
