Accessing photos downloaded from email

I have been saving photos sent to me on my hotmail account to iPhoto...but, when I go to access them in iPhoto they aren't in my Library. I've found the photos saved in a "modified" folder/format and cannot move them to my Library. How can I resolve this?

gemini75:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you have an option of where to download photos from your hotmail account? If so do not save them anywhere inside the iPhoto LIbrary folder. Same them to the desktop where you can then add them to the library. iPhoto will not import any files that reside anywhere inside it's library folder. So if those files in the Modified folder do not exist in the Originals folder try moving them to the desktop and import from there.
As a precaution until you're sure that's the case, make a backup copy of your library folder to fall back on if things don't go as expected.

Photos downloaded from emails accessed only through Finder

When someone sends me photos attached to an email and I want to save them in iPhoto along with my own photos, I click on save and tell them to go to iPhoto Library. Then if I go to iPhoto, they are not there. The only place I can find them is go to Finder, click on iPhoto Library and there they are. But I want them in with the rest of my photos. How do I get them there?

You cannot save into your iPhoto Library folder from outside of iPhoto; files that are not properly Imported will not be recognized by the database.
What you can do is save the emailed photo to your desktop, then import to iPhoto (either by dragging into iPhoto or by File > Import to Library), then delete the copy from the desktop.
If you haven't yet, you can go into your iPhoto Library folder and drag the photos you placed in there out to your desktop. Just be careful not to change anything else while you are there, as any changes made to your iPhoto Library folder from the Finder can damage your library.

Unable to access Photo Stream from email invite

I have been invited to a photo stream by a friend via an email to my Gmail account. When I click the 'Join this photo stream' link it takes me to a page telling me that I need OSX 10.8.2, iPhoto 9.4, be logged in to iCloud and press the 'Join this photo stream' link again. I have fulfilled all of this however it just keeps returning me to this page instead of allowing me to join the photo stream. Does anybody know how to solve this? Thanks.

Did you get this in the email?
If so try the link at the bottom of the email.

Quality of photos downloaded from web gallery

If someone downloads a photo from my web gallery, what quality is the photo? When you share a photo through email it asks you if you want to send it "Actual Size", "Large (higher quality), Medium, etc. Also, is the quality of a photo downloaded in a web gallery the same as a photo downloaded from my iWeb website?

If you select the option to let others download photos from the web gallery they will be downloading the full sized, pixel-wise, image. However, there will have been some jpg compression on the file. iPhoto does that so as to speed up uploading time and not fill up the iDisk as fast. The amount of compression is 9 on a scale of 1 to 12 where 12 is the highest quality. This was determined by saving the same file with Photoshop to different quality levels and comparing.
I was hardpressed to see any degradation in image until I compared them side by side at about 200% magnification. Exposure histograms for each image were the same.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Photos downloaded from my camera get stored in PhotoStream

Some of my recent photos downloaded from my camera (not from my Iphone) got stored into "PhotoStream2 and into "Events", how can I avoir having them going to PhotoStream ? Shouldn't it be only pictures takes from my Iphone that go to Photostream ?
Thanks for your help
Jenny

Aperture and iPhoto uploads the photos to Photo Stream, so this is the reason. Deactivate it in System Preferences > iCloud, but it deactivates the download of photos in iCloud

When I try to print a photo downloaded from Facebook in iPhoto, I can't get the size I specify to print correctly. Example: 5x7 prints smaller than 5x7. What do I do to solve this problem?

When I try to print a photo downloaded from Facebook in iPhoto, I can't get the size I specify to print correctly. Example: 5x7 prints smaller than 5x7. What do I do to solve this problem?

Those pixel dimemsions have aspect ratios that are not the same as a 5 x7 print:
1360 x 1360 = 1.0
790 x 640 = 1.23
2048 x 1366 = 1.5
An 7 x 5 image = 1.4.
So you'll need to crop the images to 5 x 7 before printing. The first two images are a little light in the pixels to produce a high resolution 5 x 7 print.

Since I have updated my iOS to iOS 7 I'm unable to save the photo attachments from email. It this a bug? Please look into the issue.

Unable to to save photo attachments from emails in ios7

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Photos saved from email & internet

There is a malfunction of my pictures that I've saved from email. When I go to the camera roll where they are saved (BTW, you can't choose the place in which you save them and you really have no way of telling if it was saved, except to instinctively go to your photos and check on it once you've hit the save button in your email) first of all the images are not clear and the phone freezes up or the screen starts to shake and eventually shuts off or I have to manually shut it off by holding the top and home button simultaneously.
How can this be fixed, or is this a bug that apple will fix in the next software upgrade?
I would like to get this fixed asap...any suggestions?

Check my post. Somebody helped me with this issue. I had the exact same thing happen to me. Try accessing your iPhone, once connected, through My Computer (if you have a PC), then locate the iPhone icon. Once you double-click, the picture will appear. Select the ones you're having a problem with (you saved from an email) and delete them. That's the only way I know how to fix this issue. Other people have the same problem. It seems that if the pic's too big - iphone cannot open it or does not open it correctly, So much for saving pictures taken with a 8 Mega px camera. This should work.

Since upgrading to OSX Yosemite cannot open word files downloaded from email.

I have recently installed OSX Yosemite on my late 2010 macbook air. Since upgrading I have been unable to open files in Word that I have downloaded from my email. Old word files seem to work fine. My university has given faculty access to "Office 365" and that is what I use for my email. However whenever I try and download a word file from my email the computer opens word for a second - I can see the first page of the document - and then immediately closes. This happens regardless of whether or not I open the file from my computer in my desktop or in my downloads folder, or just download another copy from my email. The word file works fine on another windows computer, it's only on this mac that Office 2011 crashes every time I try and open this new file. Please advise?

Submitting the forms back to GP engine after downloading from email

Hi,
I have a process with 2 actions.
Action 1 creates an off-line interactive form from a template and sends to the processor by email.
Action 2 is a visual approval.
After Action 1, the recipient will download the form from email, add some more data to it and submits (HTTP Submit).
I want the form to be submitted back to the same process so that the processor of action 2 can see all the data available in pdf.
I selected "Start Process Upon Completion" and tried to invoke the same process but got a "General Error http://nwportal:52000/gpcore/iformprocessor/adapter.adobe" upon submission. I also tried by not choosing the above option of starting a process, but still got the same error.
Is it possible to submit back to a process which is already in progress?
Or do I have to split the process into 2 processes and invoke the second process?
If yes, what is the advantage of the option "Enable Use in Guided Procedures" --> "Create offline interactive form and send by e-mail" in the configuration tab of interactive form callable object.
I found the following thread which talks about similar issue but I couldnt figure out an answer to my issue.
Submit Form in GP: works but ErrorMessage: Cannot handle content type ...
Appreciate your help.
Thanks

Hi Ram,
Answer to your queries :
"Is it possible to submit back to a process which is already in progress? "
Yes it is possible . The form once submitted back can resume the process that was waiting for it.
"Or do I have to split the process into 2 processes and invoke the second process?
If yes, what is the advantage of the option "Enable Use in Guided Procedures" --> "Create offline interactive form and send by e-mail" in the configuration tab of interactive form callable object.
No you do not have to split the process into 2. "Enable Use in Guided Procedures" -- "Create offline interactive form and send by e-mail" are the correct settings for what you are trying to do.
Regarding the error message you are facing I am not sure why this is happening, make sure your setting in the caf/eu/gp/model is correct. and check out the documents at
SAP Composite Application Framework - CAF Tutorial Center [original link is broken] in the interactive forms section.

Photos downloaded from SD card unaccessible "because the volume on which it resides is currently offline"

This has happened multiple times such that I can't share any photos except those I uploaded to Aperture from my iPhone. All of my cameras use SD cards. They show up in Aperture and I download them to a new project. The project appears, goes through the download process. Aperture then asks me if I want to delete the files and I do (yes, multiple times I have done this, foolishly not recalling that 2 months prior this happened).
The files appear and can be rotated but not otherwise edited, not shared, not located, not exported. There are no files on the SD cards. The files however have great resolution on my screen - it's clear they are not just thumbnails.
Please help! This really *****.

thanks for this Léonie. at least i'll get the previews. it points to the SD card. unfortunately aperture deleted all of the files on the SD card ... so i'm not sure what it's pointing at.
assuming those files are irretrievable (you'll be a hero to me if they aren't [??]),
You only let Aperture delete the files from the card and did not reformat the card in the camera, right?
Then put the card into a card reader and use a media recovery program to look for image files on the card. I am not sure, if Disk Drill will work for SD cards, but usually it is quite good at retrieving image files.
