Need to get photos off old imac ruby

I found my old Ruby and realized there are images on there that I need to get off. How do I do that? I tried to stick in cd...but Ruby spits it out. Help? Thanks!

You could use a USB external drive, or probably a USB flash drive. Both would need to be formatted for Mac, as +Mac OS Extended+ (also called HFS+). Copy off the files and then connect the drive to the MacBook. Since the old iMac only has USB 1.1, so it will be slow, but it should work.
The other way is to connect the iMac to your MacBook using an Ethernet cable. If it has Mac OS 9, it should work. Try following the steps show here

It is for the even older System 7, but it should work the same way with Mac OS 9. Note: You must connect from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X, not the other way.
Then, on the iMac, copy the files from the iMac's hard drive to the MacBook.

I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. It spent time underwater, saltwater. I let it dry for a week, turned it on, the apple symbol came on, then it died. I need to retrieve my photos off it. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

You're talking about the logic board. The two most likely things to get toasted, with water damage, are the battery(it shorts out), & the logic board. The worst water damage would be salt water. I'm afraid your logic board is toast.

Get photos off old ipod

My old computer is gone. The photos from that computer were synced to my old, click wheel ipod, 80GB. I have the ipod. The ipod does appear in itunes, but the photo option on the left does not appear. The only option I have in itunes in to synce photos from my computer to my ipod. I don't want to do that! I want to get the photos off of my ipod and safely on my new computer.
Another thread said to try image capture, but that didn't work. Maybe ipod is too old?
Any ideas?

Syncing photos is only one way, from your PC to your iPod. If you need to copy photos from your iPod back to your PC, you'll need the assistance of some third party software. Also keep in mind that these photos are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnail versions optimized for viewing on your iPod's small screen.
Here is one option.

How do I get photos off old edition of Photoshop? Please help!

I downloaded the free trial of Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition a while ago and since then, whenever I upload photos from my camera onto the computer they automatically go onto this programme. This happened the other day and the photos were deleted from my camera but I was then told that my trial had run out and to get it again I had to click on something and they would send me an email with an unlock code. I then got an email saying that this edition was no longer available and to get another one. So I downloaded another trial but I still can't get the photos off the old edition off Photoshop without the unlock code they asked for. Is there anyway I can get them? Thanks.

It is a common misconception that Starter Edition 'stores', or copies, your files into it. But the program does not move or copy files at all, rather it scans your system's My Pictures directory, and generates miniature versions of your pictures (called thumbnails) so that you can browse a 'flat' list of thumbnails of your photos, overcoming the inconvenience of having to go into separate folders in Windows Explorer to have to find files.The thumbnails, as well as any tags, and Albums that you create in Starter Edition are all stored in the Photoshop Album catalog file, separate from your pictures, and your pictures remain where you originally copied them to your computer.
If you use Photoshop Album to subsequently download files from a digital camera or scanner, the default location where the program will create those files would be in the My Pictures>Digital Camera Photos folder. But if you do NOT use Photoshop Album Starter edition to download files from your camera, then you will find that folder empty.
The thumbnails in the Starter Edition catalog will exist, even if you decide to move or delete the original photos that were added to the program. This will cause files in the Photoshop Album catalog to become 'disconnected' from the original photos. To reconnect the files, you can use the File>Reconnect Missing files command to see if the program can locate the original files in a new location, and once again re-link the catalog thumbnails to the files they once referenced.
Since Photoshop Album has been discontinued, I recommend that folks find an alternative solution. One alternative that will preserve most of what you've created in Starter Edition is the Photoshop Elements 8 trial. Install that, and it will automatically convert the Photoshop Album catalog to a current format, and the program will not time out, as Starter Edition did. If you want to purchase more Editing power, you can also choose to purchase the full program, but it's not required.
If you are like many who have come to this forum wondering how you can get to your photos, now that the program has become locked or expired, don't worry; your photos have never been moved by Photoshop Album; they remain wherever you intially put them, on your hard drive. To get to them, you can navigate your file system using Windows Explorer. They are typically in your My Documents>My Pictures folder. Here is a handy How-To that you could refer to to find photos on your system, as well as some other tips for how you can use folders to keep your photos organized: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/maintain/filemgmt.mspx
Hope those tips help!

Old iPhone3 - need help getting photos off of it

I have an old iPhone3 that has been decommissioned, so it does not have cell service but can access email via wireless network. It has photos that I want to save off of it on to my computer. My computer via USB, does not see it but iTunes does. It has an old iOS on it so it keeps wanting to update the iOS. I tried backing it up but it does not seem to back up anything as it takes less than 5 seconds to back up 14 gig of music and photos. When I tried to use the back up file to transfer the photos, the file was empty.
How do I get my photos?
I don't want to sync and lose all of those photos because I get the warning that it will lose everything. So how do I get my computer to see the photos? The computer does not give me an auto-start option to configure in the settings because it does not SEE the phone as existing.

Are the photos in your camera roll or your photo library? photos in the photo library album where already synced and have to be unsunc they cannot be deleted. photos in your camera roll can be imported. if your using a windows computer connect to the computer and clickimprot pictures and videos/scanner and camera wizard in the autoplay box. if autoplay doesn't pop up u can go to my computer and right click on your device and select improt pictures and videos/scanner and camera wizard.
aperature or iphoto can be used with OSX
also your phone does not need to be recognized by itunes to import pictures. If your computer as well does not recognize your phone that is a different story

How to get photos off old iPhone

I just got the new iPhone 4s. Synced it to my iTunes and iPhoto. I downloaded photos to iCloud from my iPhone 4 before I got the new iPhone 4s. Unfortunately, iCloud was not turned on on my iMac. So, the photos did not go to my iPhoto stream. I tried connecting my old iPhone 4 to iPhoto, but now iPhoto doesn't recognize it. How an I get those photos from the elusive and mysterious iCloud? Or off the old iPhone 4? (Yes, I know I should've synced the 4 before getting the 4s. I did the night before, but then took some Christmas party photos at work, and I really don't want to lose them.)

I downloaded the photos to iCloud from my iPhone4 via wi fi while in the ATT store just prior to getting the iPhone 4s. On my iPhone4, the Christmas party photos are on the camera roll and also on the photo stream. On my iPhone 4s, there are no photos in the photo stream. However, the photos that I took at a concert last night did upload to iCloud and are visible in the photo stream on iPhoto. The Christmas party photos are not on the iPhoto photo stream.
So, where in the iCloud are the Christmas party photos? --- I should've just emailed them to myself the old fashioned way.

I need to get photos off my iphone using itunes, PLEASE READ AND HELP

okay, I have pics on my iphone that need off and i can't use my phone, i need to use itunes. how do i do it, ive tried and can't see a remove photos button. it says to deselect a box and hit remove photos, where is that?

If these photos were synced then you need to connect your phone to iTunes, select the phone under devices and then the photos tab. Deselect photos or albums you want to remove.
If these photos were taken on the phone then you need to delete on your phone. Go to your camera roll and you will see an icon in the top right (a square with an arrow), select and then choose the photos and hit delete

Need to get photos OFF of 30GB iPod Photo onto Windows XP computer

I recently used my iPod camera connector to store about 200 pictures on my iPod. Now I need to copy them to my computer. I cannot get the files to transfer. They don't show up when I view my iPod as a disc drive (I could see "roll 2" "roll 3" but there was nothing behind the folder). I read on other posts to change my ipod settings on itunes to "disc mode" but I have been unable to figure out how to do that.
I would prefer not to use outside software, so if you have solutions that don't require any, I would like to hear those first.
Thank you for the help!

Cant get photos off of a Samsung Trender and onto my iMac

I'm trying to get photos off of my daughter's Samsung Trender phone. Every bit of info I can find speaks in terms of using a Windows machine. When I hook her phone up via USB it doesn't mount so it's a bit of a dead end. Is there a driver of some sort I need to be able to see the phone?

Have you tried using Image Capture with the phone conected by USB? Of that doesn't work follow Larry's suggestion.

I have an old imac ruby..What can I do with it?

I have an old imac ruby.. it's been sitting in my attic for years.. Would I be able to bust that out and get it working for my son? He's 5 and would mostly be using it for internet, and learning games, even videos if possible.. Or is that totally impossible? Is it possible to get it set up to work with fios internet? I'm thinking a resounding no, but not sure what to do with such a pretty retro piece of technology.. Any suggestions? If there is no use for it, are there any good ways to get rid of it?
The following are the specs written on the outside of the computer:
Model #- M 5521 DHHS Code: SA ruby 450MHZ 20GB HD/DVD/192 MB SDRAM MDM US EN KYBD/MAC OS
It also has an "ethernet" ID...

I think you are a little pessemistic about this machine.
The best approach would be playing lots of games and running educational software.
With more workd and dollars...
You can get on the Internet with this machine will be slow with modern site, but will work find. Will not do video on the web.
You could max out the memory to 1gig. Could install 10.4 and use TenFourFox as your web browser.
Be sure to update the firmware before installing Mac OS X.
You could buy an external DVD drive. It needs to be firewire and bootable by Mac OS. If you have another PPC with firewire, you could try target Disk mode and installed tiger that way.
You need to figure out the level of your firmware before installing 10.2 or greater. ( The PC name for firmware is BIOS. ) Installing 10.2 with a down level firmware will most likely make your iMac unusable and difficult to fix.
What is Open Firmware?
The firmware on a PPC is called Open Firmware. Open Firmware software receives control when you poweron your machine. It does some hardware testing and some hardware configuration then passes control to your version of Mac OS. It reside on a PROM ( program read only memory ) chip on the logic board.
Figuring out what level of Open Firmware you have?
1) Mac OS 9.x or 8.x, you need to use the Apple System Profiler.

Get photos off an iPad without a PC

Hello all
Firstly, sorry if this has already been talked about on the forums
I did search for an answer to my question but to no avail
If there are threads already discussing this, can you point me in the right direction? Thanks!
My question -
How the heck do you get photos OFF an iPad (mine is iPad 2) without a computer?
Mac/PC doesn't matter, irrelevant to the question
The reason I ask is because I'm a photographer and I'd like to use my iPad out in the field
I've found it to be a super-cool device to show clients portfolio work
But I'd also like to start using it to do basic post-work and editing on-the-job
For the editing part, there are heaps of apps in the app store that are just great
But once I'm done, I'd love to be able to give a digital copy of the photos to the client before I leave
Any ideas?
I'm very happy with the iPad as a professional tool for this industry
And even if what I'm asking can't be done, I'll still keep using it
Just wondering if there's any ideas I haven't come across yet
Many thanks!

yes, soon after I posted, I went into the photo gallery to have a play
found that if you click the share button you can select multiple and email them, indeed to yourself
or in my case, to the client
here's my thinking...
for jobs where a really special emotional response is needed, i'm better off going home and packaging a dvd and posting to the client, such is the case for weddings etc
for time-critical jobs, like insurance and particularly real estate, emailing to the client would be perfect
one question though - when emailing, are the photos sent at their original quality?

How to get photos off iPad 1st gen

Anyone know a way I can get photos off an iPad 1st Gen? It is not recognized by iPhoto 9 that is currently running on Mavericks.
This should have been synced a long time ago but my wife never did and now has photos on it that she wants.... I know, I know....
Tried:
- Using Image Capture - does not see it
- When I launch iPhoto, it says "Loading" and never does anything.
- iTunes does see it but that doesn't help to get photos off of it.
- Saw a program that let's you transfer files off but it cost $30 and thought there might be a way to do ift for free.
Thanks, Jeff

The iOS version has nothing to do with importing photos.
Where are the photos located? iPhoto will only get photos that were saved to the iPad like saved from an email attachment. Those are in the Saved photos album
If the photos are in another album they were synced to the iPad. To get those you need a third-party program like PhoneView or TouchCopy

I need to get videos off the iCloud.

I'm in a domestic abuse situation, an I've been gathering video evidence of the abuse. I have it saved on the iCloud, but not on my iPhone anymore. I only have a Chromebook for a computer. I need to send these videos, so I need to get them off of the cloud. How do I do this?

How did you save them to iCloud? Are they saved as part of your iCloud backup or did you add them to a shared photo stream?

Getting Photos off iPod

ok, ok, I know what im about to ask is taboo in the Mac world, but I need to know how to get photos off my iPod. I had lost my 5th Gen iPod about 3 years ago and recently I have found it again and want to get all the photos off of it. I have a new computer currently and I want all the pics off my iPod and onto my MBP. Is there any way I can get the pictures off without spending money and without only being able to download the first six pictures?
Thanks for your help
