Best photo viewing option

I have all my photos in iPhoto on my Macbook Pro and the photos are backed up to two external drives at different locations.
However, I'm looking for the best option to store my photos so I can quickly pull them up and view them on my Phone and iPad mini when I'm on the go. Obviously this would require me uploading all my photos to a cloud based or online service. It doesn't seem like the iPhoto apps for iPad and iPhone work this way, unless I am mistaken.
Any reccomendations?
I was looking nto Flickr, which seems to be making a comeback, or Picasa, which I used before iPhoto. ZipCloud seems to get great reviews although I'm not sure how easily I would be able to go through my photos on phone or iPad using their service.
Any help would be appreciated, I would really like a solution to this need.

tell you about their app for iPad, and there's a link there for their iPhone one too.
Personally, I peferred the options on SmugMug and Picasa more than the ones on Flickr and Picasa. It also looks a lot betterm but ymmv.
I'm not sure that ZipCloud, DropBox and Google Drive allow you to view your photos online.

Event vs. photo view

I am thinking about upgrading to iLife 08 (mainly for iPhoto and its sharing and editing upgrdes).
I wanted to make sure before I did that, whether all my folders and albums within my folders will remain.
I take a great number of miscellaneous pictures in a given day that are not linked to a specific event, and believe that it will be simpler to organize them in the folders and albums that I have created for these miscellaneous pictures.
So my question is: Does iPhoto 08 eliminate my folders and albums, and if not, are they simply visible in the photo view option?
If that is the case, I imagine that I would stick to photo view.
Thanks in advance.

Basically you will find that each roll in iPhoto 6 becomes an event in 7 and your albums will be preserved as is
IF you want to further organize things events are MUCH easier than rolls to reorganize - creating new ones, spliting existing ones and merging existings one is very simple
I like the new interface much better and find the event concept easier to navagate and organize

Why am I getting sharper printouts from Windows Photo Viewer than PSE 7? This was not always the case. has something in my settings changed? I have tried all obvious solutions but no change. How can i get the best image print outs from PSE?

I prefer to print from PSE as this allows me to set picture dimensions. Windows photo viewer does not give this flexibility. I am using the same PC, the same printer and the same print file, yet the outcome from each software option is significantly different. WPV is sharp and bright whereas PSE is softer. Can any one help me?

When I open an event I can only see one photo. The view option for dispaying thumbnails is greyed.

Have you tried moving the thumbnail size slider at the botton on the screen?

Whenever I drag photos from safari to my desktop, it keeps on auto-arranging them. I've tried checking the arrange to none view option but it doesn't seem to work. HELP, PLEASE?

I just want them to stay exactly where I dragged them on my desktop. Can anyone help me on this. It's starting to get really frustrating.

Can't find the "sort by" option. I've tried the view options and clicked "none" in arranged by section as I've seen in forums, but still doesn't work.

W7 Photo viewer- frustration

I have Windows 7 Pro. I do not see the "rename" in the Windows Photo Viewer, including in the file options. I want to DIRECTLY rename my photo through the viewer. You could it in Vista.
I already know allll about the changing Views/previews in a Folder, batch name, the tab rename, etc in folders. I know the spilt screen style- resize folder/viewer, to see both--- not want I am asking for. I am NOT asking for the folder methods. Save
As
ONCE again, I want to *directly* rename my photos in the Photo Viewer. I don't want to have to go to folder every time to rename. How to I enable it? What do I need to buy, download, uninstall, or reformat? Do I need to install the Vista viewer?
If its permanently removed, why??

Hi DeepStarW7,
We may rename the photo name in Windows Photo Viewer through Files->Properties, then on the
General tab, type the name that you would like to change:
For more information about Windows Photo Gallery, please see:

Or you may take a look at the Photo Gallery:

Satellite C650 - Windows Photo Viewer freezes every time in use

Hello all,
my C650 is a brand new purchase and so far I haven't been able to view any photos; on a memory stick, in "My Pictures" or in any form using the Windows Photo Viewer. Once I double click on the picture icon, the image enlarges to full screen and freezes whilst "loading" is displayed.
At this point, I can't even end the process using the windows task manager. I'm only a student and quite inexperienced with the workings of computers, so any help will be greatly appreciated!

Please dont understand me wrong but best option for you will be to ask some friend of you how it works and how to handle with different picture formats and different applications.
I mean who knows which photos do you have, which format, which capacity and so on.
With standard jpg format there should not be any problem. For instance, in windows explorer you can find folder Public pictures with some sample pictures. Can you open these pictures?

Photosmart B209a and Windows Photo Viewer, a bad combination.

The Win7 Windows Photo Viewer has the ability to set the paper size, quality, and paper type. It works with a photosmart D5160 but it doesn't work with the B209a.
With the B209a, It sets the paper size correctly but it doesn't set the print quality or type of paper correctly. The print quality always is set to normal and the type of paper is always set to plain. I can get to the HP printer properties by clicking on "options" and then "Printer properties". I can seem to set it to best quality and HP Premiums paper on the HP printer properties window, but it's all a mirage. If I return to the Photo Viewer window and once again go to HP printer properties, the settings revert to normal quality and plain paper. The actual prints are normal quality with grainy stripes across the picture.
To print high quality photos, I need to use another program like Paint.
Is there a solution?

that seems to have worked for me, but the inactive screen is still blackened, do you think the photo viewer doesn't fully support dual monitors? I also noticed the picture is the same display size as the primary monitor, as in whatever size is is during
a slideshow on the primary is the same when switched to the secondary.
I could juy st tap the window key to get the primary back, but then the unused portions of the secondary revert to the background...this seems like a strong candidate for a windows update that actually changes the way the OS works... can I has some cash
now?
hey, MS, WTF?
pictures viewer unable to work with few monitors?
i checked - by pressing "Window Key+Shift and tap either the left or right arrow"
it changes monitor, but other one hold black!
i checkerd win7, win2008srv, win2003

Change view options for a single folder

I use the Finder exclusively in "column view".
I have a folder that contains some huge (> 1 GB) .tiff files. If I navigate to one of these files, the Finder tries to generate a preview image, but this typically takes more than a minute. I want to turn off the "Show preview column" for this folder (but only for this folder). Under Finder>View>View options I can hide the preview column, but this change applies to my entire file tree. I can't find a way to restrict the change to a single folder.
Note - if you work in "list view", the view options menu gives you a choice of making changes to "this window only" or "all windows". Not so in column view.

Probably the best option is to put that folder in list view. When you navigate to the folder containing that folder in your normal Column view, you can hold down the Command key and double click the folder. It will then open in a new window and display in List view. If you use this folder frequently, drag it to the Dock, when you select it from there it will open in List view. I have a number of things that I prefer to open in List or Icon view, rather than my usual Column view, but don't want to clutter up my Dock, so I keep aliases to some of them on my Desktop, and some in my home folder (depending on how often I access them). The ones on the Desktop open in the preferred form with a double click, the ones in my home folder open the way I want with a Command double click.

How to set view options for whole subdirectory tree

In the "shw view options" menu of the Finder, i can set the "show icon preview" and the "icon size" for a single window.
I wold like to apply these options to all directories in a given directory sub-tree (but not to all directories).
Doing this manually would be really tedious, since there are a lot of directories in my subdirectory.
Does anyone have an idea, how to do that more automatically?
Best regards,
Gabriel.

At least the new short text is displayed on the ALV tree. I assume that you have to be very careful and scrupulous in choosing the correct data types for the method calls.

Changes in viewing options in iTunes 8

Hi all,
I have had a disappointment with iTunes 8 in terms of the viewing options. I used to view and sort through my library in the list view mode where I would have 3 columns to choose from genre, artist, and album. This was a very convenient and rapid way to sort through and find music I was looking for. This option appears to be gone from iTunes 8. Is it? Why? I am not a fan of sorting through a long list. The grid viewing option does not please me so much either. I see no reason to bog down my system with all the cover art...
So does anyone know if it is possible to restore the list view with the 3 sorting columns I had in previous iTunes versions?

Within iTunes:
View->Show Browser. Or just CTRL-B
Best of Luck

How do I print 4x6 photos on an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus via Windows Photo Viewer or Gallery

Dear Experts, I've got an HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer with just one paper tray in which I loaded 4x6 photo paper.
The printer was purchased in January 2014, the latest drivers are installed. Now I would like to print a single 4x6 photo using Windows Photo Viewer or Gallery.I loaded the 4x6 photo paper into the tray as indicated by the little icon labeled 4x6in, so I suppose I got the HW part right. It's just the SW part which gives me a hard time. The available paper size options in Windows Photo Viewer and Gallerydon't include photo paper sizes, just the standard paper and envelope sizes.Hence I checked in the HP Printer Assistant in "Set Preferences" what kind of paper sizes are available, and there is exactly the same list as proposed by Gallery, missing photo paper sizes. So I guess Gallery just picks the sizes from the driver and ther are no photo paper sizes. This is an issue because I prefer to print from my PC using Win 7 or Win 8 and not from a SD card or a USB stick. Any help is very welcome, thank you in advance!

Thank you for this link! Actually I installed a brand new Windows 8 system in January 2014 and then bought the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer a few days later. To install this printer I did not use the CD that came with it but already used this link. Just to be sure that I have the latest version I again reinstalled the driver. The result is definitive: You cannot print common photo paper sizes like 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, etc. via a PC using photo SW like HP Photo Creations, MS Gallery, Windows Photo Viewer or any other SW on a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. The reason is most likely that HP marketing decided that an Officejet should not be smart enough for photos, after all the company sells also Photosmarts. Because you cannot create your own formats you are limited by the driver to what is typically available in an office, in this case: A4, Letter, legal, Statement, Executive, A4, A5, A6, B54 (JIS), Envelopes #10-DL-C5-C6-A2-Monarch, Japanese Postcard, Japanese Envelope Chou #3-#4, L, 2L, O**bleep**u hagaki, Index Card Letter-A4, Edge-to-Edge Letter-A4, Env. Japanese No 3-No 4 and that's it, not more. Thank you anyway for trying to help me but in this case only the SW developers in HP can help.It would be great to be able to print from time to time a 4x6 photo on this printer like I would do.Copying photos on a USB stick or on a SD card first and then use this way to print on the printer is too cumbersome for me.

How can I access properties in my photo files. I uused to be able to tag my pictures in photo viewer but now it either does not come up when clicked on or it is greyed out or blocked out.

Why can't I access properties nor add to the tags in picture properties when in photo viewer or at all?

Not sure why you didn't get it when the other guys did, it seems you want to be sure to point out how stupid my question is instead of trying to make sense of it. I'll reply to clear things up also in hopes you might be a bit more corteous when replying to something you are obviously missing, as two separate individuals have already posted clear answers.
-Why would you preview in the store if the item is in your library?
Because there is no preview option in the library, thus my question
-Find the album, select the first song then press Play.
As I said in my question, I want a preview from the middle. More often than not it will take time to get to the point where the song actually starts/drops
-When you decide you like it or not, rate it/add to a playlist then skip to the next song.
-Preview All is the same as skipping thru all songs on an album.
No, Preview All is automatically scanning through each song one by one playing an excerpt, it completely different.
-Something comes up? Run to your Mac?
I can understand your confusion on this bit - when a song plays that I like, I can return my focus to my mac and rate or add that particular song. You must understand that people listen to music while doing other things, and given the MBP has speakers, it is safe to say I may not be tethered to it with headphones while listening.
