All photos being automatically downloaded by Mail

I've noticed that Mail seems to automatically download all photos that have been sent as attachments to my laptop - is there a way to stop this?

if your email account is POP then that's how it should be and there is no way around that. if it's IMAP then you can disable this in Mail preferences->accounts->advanced options->keep copies of messages for offline viewing.
also note that there is an option in mail preferences->viewing to disable downloading of images in html messages but this is a different matter.

LOST FAMILY PHOTO'S AUTOMATICALLY DOWNLOADED TO Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2.

My photos were automatically downloaded to the above mentioned sight and although I can see the photo's stored a registration message pops up and I am not able to access them, the photo's were also automatically deleted from my camera. I am aware that Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 is no longer available and have tried to download an updated trial version but this appears to taking forever and a virus message keeps appearing. If this Photoshop is unavailable why was it still available for my photo's to disappear into?

There is a forum dedicated to Photoshop Album Starter.

How do I set my iPhone photos to automatically download to my Mac?

I'm running OS 10.5.8 and want to set Image Capture to automatically download my photos from my iPhone when I plug it in. I know this is possible with Image Capture running on OS 10.6, but I can't upgrade since my processor isn't an Intel. I would write a script in Automator to do it but I don't know how! Thanks!

Photos being automatically resized upon edit?

I just upgraded my 3G iPhone to a 4S and I am experiencing a the following when taking/editing photos...
1) Take a photo
2) Email it to myself and select "Full size". This results in a 2.62MB 2448x3264 pixel image being sent.
3) While still on the same photo, click the "Edit" button, then select "Auto Enhance", the "Save".
4) Again email the photo to myseldf and again select "Full Size" when given the size options. This results in a 880KB 1536x2048 pixel image being sent.
Why is IOS5 significantly resizing the image even after applying the simple "Auto Enhance" correction?
I've tested the same scenario with all of the editing tools (crop and red eye) and the same thing happens with all tools... the photo is substantailly resized (automatically) when saved after the edits are applied.
I couldn't or never edited photos on my 3G, so this is new to me and I am curious if this is as designed? If so, I don't know why Apple would force the photo to be resized upon edit.

I finally got around to importing my photos to my iMac and I found that the imported photos were not resized.
Apparently the original photo files remain untouched and this issue occurs only when emailing the photo from the phone successive times (after a applying edits).
I'm still puzzled as to why this would occur so I've submitted feedback to Apple about it, but I am at least glad to discover that the original photo files are unaffected.

Some words being automatically linked by mail

Hi,
I have this strange problem where on an erratic basis, some words are being linked one another. So instead of reading "hello my name is Paul" the receiver would read "hellomyname is Paul".
Has anyone encountered this problem before?
Any fix?
Tks very much in advance
Ben

Why are photos being automatically deleted from my photo stream?

I have three iDevices that use the same Apple ID: an iPad 2 running iOS 7, an iPad 4 running iOS 6, and an iPod Touch running iOS 6.
Up until a few weeks ago, they all lived happily together. Whenever I saved a photo on any one of these devices, the photo would show up in the photo stream for all three devices.
However, recently the iPad 2 has been mysteriously showing less and less items in the photo stream. More and more photos disappear from the photo stream every day (only on this iPad; the other iPad and the iPod have all the same photos in the stream.) The iPad 2 now has only 100 photos while the iPad 4 and iPod have 800+ in the stream.
Why am I losing photos from the stream in the iPad 2, and why aren't the other devices behaving the same way? I'm not deleting anything (at least, I'm not deleting the images that are mysteriously absent from the iPad 2), and there are no device storage space issues (plenty of space on each device).
The iPad 2 seems to keep only about a week or two's worth of photos in the stream. Does this have something to do with the versions of iOS that the devices are running? I don't understand why this behavior would have suddenly changed within the last couple weeks, though, since the iPad 2 has been running iOS7 for quite some time. It just seems to be arbitrarily happening now.
How can I make my iPad stop removing photos from its version of the stream? I'm an artist and use all my devices in back and forth fashion, so I need to them to all have the same photo stream content.

My Photo is not a permanent storage space.
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.

Photo stream automatically deleting first photos with each new photo

once the photo stream on my 4s hit 1000 photos it started to delete the beginning of all of them. can i get those back? i dont understand why the new pictures are taking their place

No. Since when you create photo albums by using photos from PhotoStream the album only is a pointer to the photo ub PhotoStream
How do I delete photos from My Photo Stream?
You can delete photos from your photo stream the same way you delete other photos from your iOS device or Mac. Just select the photos you want to remove, then tap the trash icon or click Delete. On your PC, select the photos you want to remove from your photo stream, right-click, then select delete. When you delete a photo from My Photo Stream on one device, it will be removed from the Photos tab and your albums and iCloud. Photos imported from My Photo Stream to other devices won’t be deleted. Learn more about deleting photos.
What happens to my photos if I turn off My Photo Stream?
If you sign out of iCloud or turn off My Photo Stream on an iOS device, all the photos in the My Photo Stream album are removed from that device. Any photos from My Photo Stream that were imported to the Recently Added album and the Photos tab will also be removed. The photos from My Photo Stream on your other devices aren't affected. Photos from My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days from the date you uploaded them to My Photo Stream. If you sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID and turn on My Photo Stream on another device, those photos will automatically download to this device.

Can't remove Automaticly downloaded music

I just got an IPhone and stupidly selected to Automaticaly download purchased music to my IPhone (kids buys stuff I don't want and we share an Itunes account). I purchased a song and I used it to create a ringtone. Worked perfectly and I did it with several songs that I already had in my Itunes account. Now on my IPhone, the newly purchased song will only play for 30 seconds. It shows the full 4:00 length, but it starts at 15 seconds, and stops at 45 just like I setup when I created the ringtone. I have tried to remove it and start over but it's not working. I have deleted the ringtone in Itunes, removed my entire playlist, synced my IPhone. All my other music is gone, but not the recently purchased stuff. I think It's got something to do with it being automatically downloaded when purchased.
Is there some way to remove all the "Purchased Music"? I have gone to Store and turned off automatic downloads.
When I synce it to my IPOD, the song is fine. When I play it in ITunes, it is fine. Starts at the beginning, and plays until the end.

Any love here? Still having the same problem-can't sync new music added to my computer. I don't want to uncheck the manually manage music button because then the entire library will sync, and that will overload my phone.
Thanks

HT201060 Is there a way to be selective about which photos are automatically uploaded to the Family Sharing photo album?

Family Sharing is set up, and "My Photo Stream" and "iCloud Photo Sharing" features are enabled on all devices. However, I would like to limit which photos are shared in the Family Sharing photo album. Here are two scenarios:
I'm shopping for a gift for my daughter at the store, and I see the item I think she'll like. In Messages I want to snap a photo to send to my wife to get her buy-in (authorization), but when I do this, the photo is also automatically uploaded to the Family Sharing album, and my daughter can see it on her iPod Touch until I delete it from iCloud.
On her iPod Touch, my daughter browses images of kittens and cats, cats and kittens (she's 10), and saves many of them to her camera roll to view later. In turn, our Family Sharing photo album is full of random pictures of kittens.
Perhaps all I need to do is turn off "My Photo Stream", to prevent all photos being uploaded to all devices automatically? And in the event I want to share a photo or an event/moment, I can create a Photo Stream on the spot...?

Probably the best solution is to put your daughter on her own iCloud ID (but under your name since she's under-aged). She can continue to use your ID for iTunes store purchases. If you set her up with a separate iCloud ID, then her photo activity and yours will remain separate.
The Family Sharing feature may not be relevant or helpful in this scenario -- as I understand it, Family Sharing is for the sharing of purchases, not iCloud, and only in situations when family members have separate IDs for purchases but want to also share the purchases from a "central ID" (e.g. Parent's ID)

Possible to automatically download specific episodes from subscribed podcast?

I'm wondering if it's at all possible to automatically download only specific episodes in a subscribed podcast without downloading any of the other episodes.
IE: I subscribe to G4TV.com Web Shows Podcast specifically to watch the MMO Report episodes. I have no interest in any of the other episodes that form part of the podcast so I don't want to waste precious bandwidth downloading them automatically. Is there any way to setup a smart way to download only episodes with specific words or phrases in the title in the subscribed podcast? I love the auto download option of podcasts so I don't really want to have to manually go and check for new episodes to download.

No, there is no ftp server in the TC so it won't work.. upload the file to service. There are tons of places on the web whereby you can share a few files.. google sites excellent.

I am not able to access today's or yesterday's photos in the Attachment box when trying to e-mail photos using Gmail. I am using a new Mac Book Pro, photos from my iPhone, and download to iPhoto. All photos previous to yesterday are accessible. This is a recurring issue. Any help here?

The photos is question don't show up in the Last Import smart album?
In the Event mode set View ➙ Sort Events ➙ By Date ➙ Descending. That way the newest Events will be at the top of the window. Do you see the photos in the last couple of events?
If no to all of the above try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

How do I not automatically download photos in Apple Mail?

How do I not autmatically download photos when I open Apple Mail. I lve on a boat and internet by the satellite gets expensive. I would like to know how to turn off automatic photo downloads.

Check with your email provider. Blocking images is a function they usually can provide.
Example from Verizon Mail Setup:

How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system. Not enough memory to upgrade.

How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system. Not enough memory to upgrade.

You can't. iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails
But not from a Mac. If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use it with Time Machine.
