All pictures seem to be low resolution in the photo app

All the photos look okay unzoomed, but zoom in a bit and its blurry and what not. These are photos synced from my comp. It almost seems like the full pictures are being added to the ipod touch, since in itunes it shows the photos taking up about as much HD space as i'd expect.... but since the photos in the photo app viewer look so small i've got no idea.
I've had a previous ipod touch, 1st gen and i dont rememeber this being a problem.
Right now zooming in on pictures is apparently useless as it is less of a zoom and more of a magnifying glass on a small picture. Is this a common problem? Does 3.0 fix this? Thanks.

yeah this has been a problem a few people have come across, one of the 2.x updates was supposed to fix it. i suggest you report it to apple:

How do I save a picture in a lower resolution for the website

How do I save a picture in a lower resolution for the website

Check the App Store for apps that allow you to change the pixel dimensions of the photo. I use PhotoForge2 and it does a wonderful job of that by allowing you to move a slider to change the dimensions of the photo. Unfortunately Google purchased the company that made photoforge and it is no longer in the App Store. Thee are undoubtedly some other apps that will do what you want.

Is there a way I can control the resolution of the photos I transfer to the iPad?

Is there a way I can control the resolution of the photos I transfer to the New iPad? I just received the new iPad and would like to reduce the size of the resolution of the pictures I am transferring.
I have storage capacity issue and I am only able to transfer about half the number of pictures I had on original Ipad with the same storage capacity. I upgraded to the New Ipad and I am transferring all the pictures I had in the original Ipad. I do not know why they are not all transfering since the New Ipad got full before all the pictutres where transfered. I used Itunes to transfer the pictures I have in Iphoto . I assume this is because the New Ipad has a higher resolution screen and is allowing the pictures to be transfered automatically to the New Ipad at a higher resolution than the original Ipad?
Any thoughts?

I have a Canon 7D and the picture are large.
Step my step instructions, would be great if it is at all possible.
What you as is difficult without knowing your exact circumstances, i.e. what format pictures are you sending, do you shoot in .jpg or shoot in RAW and convert to .jpg, etc. However, I don't see a way to quickly reduce the size of your image files without reprocessing your files in some manner.
You could export all of the images to be loaded onto your iPad in JPEG format using Lightroom or Aperture and greatly lower the quality setting in the .jpg export. If you do this make sure you export to a new folder. Lowering the quality can have a huge impact on the size of the image files. If this worked it would give you the advantage of still having the largest amount of pixels allowable on the iPad 3. I found that on my iPad 2 I could 'get away' with setting the quality to around 50 without seeing any obvious changes. A higher quality setting may or may not be required on the iPad 3, time will tell and as my iPad 3 is going back I've not taken the time to put more than a few sample (800 or so) images on it. They were exported at a quality setting of 60 and look as well as can be expected considering my defective iPad 3 display.
If you images are already exported at a lower quality setting and are still too large the next step would be to reduce the dimensions of the image. Lightroom has this capability. I don't know about Aperture, but I assume it does.
My normal workflow with my 7D:
Take picture in RAW.
Transfer to Lightroom 4 converting the Canon RAW files to Adobe's DNG format.
Process images in Lightroom. If any need further processing then export to Photoshop and/or Nik plug-ins.
Export processed images that I wish to have on my iPad to my Pictures folder in .jpg format using a quality setting of 60. I do not reduce the dimension of the image as I want the maximum sized images my iPad will allow. As I only transfer a couple of thousand size is not an issue.
Use iTunes to Sync photos to iPad.
As was mentioned by a previous poster you could use Photoshop to bulk process the photos but that requires both Photoshop and a knowledge of creating a bulk action. Not hard, but very confusing if you haven't used both Photoshop and the bulk process before.
There may be other methods that could work for you but I am not aware of them. With the breadth of experience of the members of this forum perhaps someone else could chime in with suggestions.

Can't send pictures from the Photo app

At least since the last OS update, I can't text or email pictures from the Photo app. I can set it all up, but the pictures never send. Is there a fix for this please?
I have to go into Messaging or Mail and choose the picture from there.
It doesn't work with my iPhone 5 or my Mom's iPhone 4S.

If I send via email from either iPhone or iPad it seems like it has sent but it doesn't. If I send via text message from iPhone it says message failed to send and won't send again no matter how many times I try

I have a problem with my 4s camera which has come up recently. Everytime I take a picture and look it up via the 'Photos' app, it shows as blank. But when I click on edit on the blank picture, it comes up and I am able to save it back on my photo album.

But when I click on edit on the blank picture, it comes up and I am able to save it back on my photo album as a proper image. Besides, I have also experiences the camera working a bit wiered (slow and often blanks out the moment I am ready to take a photo). Any help on this pls?

Hi Noob Søren
There are a few things that are confusing in your question.
As far as I know, you dont have to install Time Machine on this OS as it is already installed for you. You only need to connect a hard drive to your computer via firewire or usb, click on the Time Machine icon, Open Time Machine Preference in the drop down menu and select a disk: your connected hard drive.
You can of course reformat this connected device, partition it into a few volumes to organise data if you so wish.
I find it strange that your mac's hard drive is divided into two volumes... perhaps this was created through bootcamp?
You can access the configuration of your hd through Applications/Utilities/Disk Utilities.
Clicking on one of the icons on the right hand panel will bring the details of the contents of your hardDrive and volumes. From there you can decide to erase a partition, reformat etc....
If your hd contains more than one volume, and one of them is empty, you could decide to remove it. Back up all your important data before doing so.
Hope this helps

Can videos be trimmed in the Photos app in iOS 5? This doesn't seem to be an option any longer.

Previously in ios 4, the length of videos could be trimmed in the Photos app. It appears this functionality was removed for some reason. Can this be confirmed?

I went through all options of Universal Access and didn't see the 5 key mapped anywhere. When I open the Keyboard Viewer, if I hit 4 or 6, the appropriate key lights up. However, nothing happens when I hit the 5 key.
If I hit ^5, the 5 key lights up but isn't printed to the screen. "∞", and "%" seem to work fine as well.

In facebook, When I access a picture directly, I am unable to advance the photo forwards or backwards using the mouse/cursor or the arrow keys.

I am using Firefox 16.0.1 on a macbook pro using 10.7.5 software.
When I access a picture directly, I am unable to advance the photo forwards or backwards using the mouse/cursor or the arrow keys. The same is true if I use an external mouse.
If I use Safari as the browser, I don't have this issue.
This problem just started a couple of days ago.
All had been working fine.

Use 3rd party apps like Photo Manager Pro.

I deleted all my photos and videos and then delete the deleted files but the photo app is still taking up 12 GB of space and I have no room for new stuff. How can I clear the memory space used by my deleted videos and photos?

HT203511 Is there a way for me to get all 2,000 photos from my iphone onto the photos app on my macbook without having to delete anything? Currently it is only uploading the last 30 days.

I have had my macbook for a few months, but have not really taken full advantage of it. I am trying to get my phone to communicate with my computer so my photos will be in two locations. I just set up the photos app on my computer, but it will only upload the last 30 days.

Have you considered using iCloud Photo Library instead of Photo Stream? See iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
The following quote from that link has instructions on how to turn it on:
If you want to turn on iCloud Photo Library on all of your devices, follow these steps:
In iOS 8.3 or later, go to Settings > iCloud > Photos, then turn on iCloud Photo Library.
In OS X 10.10.3 or later, go to System Preferences > iCloud > Options next to Photos, then select iCloud Photo Library.

Hi Liz,
Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem. Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File", then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine. I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1). I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do.
The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu, when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.
I am now a happy camper.
I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto, that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"?
Good luck Liz, if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.

When i take a picture with flash in a dark place , the photo appears with a blue line . how can i default this ?

when i take a picture with flash in a dark place , the photo appears with a blue line . how can i default this ? is this normal ???

You probably have a filter set for the normal camera mode but not the square.
To fix, in Photo mode, touch the filter icon (three circles) and select None for the filter.

iCloud only give so much space for free storage, then if you exceed the limit of 5gb you have to pay for additional storage.

I folowed your instruction for obtaining photo stream but there was no photos even thought I took lots of pictures during the last 30 days . I never had to recharge my IPAD during the last 30 days . Does that mean these photos never were uploaded to ICLOUD ?
In order for photos to be uploaded to iCloud your iPad has to be connected to wifi, have the camera app closed, and have at least 20% battery life remaining. If those 3 conditions were not met, the photos would not have been uploaded. If your new iPad is signed into the same iCloud account in Settings>iCloud and you have My Photo Stream turned on in Settings>iCloud>Photos, any photo stream photos that were added in the last 30 days will download to the My Photo Stream album inside the Photos app when it's connected to wifi. If no photo stream photos download, there must not be any.
I checked ICOUD & I found out that my IPAD was storage 1.43GB of 5 GB was available but the last update date was 7/31/2012 . Why the IPAD quite the backup at that date ? Did this mean I ran out of storage capacity?
In order to back up to iCoud, the iPad must be connected to wifi, your charger and have the screen locked. The best way to do this is to make sure it's connected to wifi when you go to bed at night, then connect it to your charger and lock the screen. Then it will back up every 24 hours. It's hard to say why your old iPad stopped backing up. If it wasn't connected to wifi and your charger, that would explain it. It's also possible that there was something corrupt in the backup which caused it to stop backing up. It's always a good idea to check occasionally to be sure your backup is current. If you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, you can always see the last backup data/time at the very bottom under Back Up Now.
I purchased a new IPAD AIR and I was happy to download the available backed up photos into my new IPAD . Now I got a pop up message on my new IPAD that new photos are not being backed up , Why ?
Check Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, then tap the name of your new iPad under Backups at the top, and check the Backup Options to be sure Camera Roll is turned on. That will ensure that your camera roll photos are included in your iCloud backup.
