Can I embed a photo caption to an image via Get Info? or using Preview?

Is there a way to embed a caption into an image file  using Preview, or by using the Get Info box? Get Info  can read captions already embedded, e.g. using Photoshop, but is there  a way I can put in a caption without spending $$$ to buy Photoshop?
Hope someone can help
David Young

What exactly do you mean by "embed"?
If you mean write it to the IPTC metadata: you can do this with iPhoto and many, many other apps that are a lot less expensive than Photoshop
If you mean add text to the surface of the Photo: Yes you can do this with Preview and many, many other apps that are a lot less expensive than Photoshop

    A FAT32 drive can't store files which are 4GB or larger. You need to reformat or repartition the drive to include an exFAT, NTFS, or Mac OS Extended volume, or use a different drive, or use a way other than an external drive to transfer it.

  • Can anyone help me write a script that would click "get info" and then "enter" on each movie in my itunes library? I am asking because my itunes 11 repeatedly loses the artwork to my movies in my itunes library.

    Can anyone help me write a script that would click "get info" and then "enter" on each movie in my itunes library? I am asking because my itunes 11 repeatedly loses the artwork to my movies in my itunes library. I can restore the artwork (and make my apple tv see the movie exists as well) by going into the movie library and clicking on each movie by hand, slecting get info, and then selecting enter. Now doing this 10 times in 20 days was fun and all BUT I would really like to automate the process so everytime itunes screws it up I can fix it easier.
    I saw this example of an itunes script that restores artwork for music
    tell application "iTunes" set theSelection to selection repeat with i from 1 to count of theSelection tell (item i of theSelection) set artworkCount to count of artwork repeat artworkCount times set theArtwork to data of artwork 1 delete artwork 1 set data of artwork artworkCount to theArtwork end repeat end tell end repeat end tell
    but I need to tweak this to fit my needs for simply clicking the "get info" button and "enter" in the movie library rather than all the stuff this guy has listed. Any ideas or help on writing this? Thanks.

    Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.

  • Why can't I choose the application version via "get info" in the finder anymore

    Upgraded to Maverick and installed Indesign CC 2014 only to find Suitcase has not kept up with an upgrade so fonts are not opening. I would like to use Indesign CC (9.2.2) until the font issues are resolved but cannot choose the application version via "get info" in the finder anymore (it just reverts back to CC 2014 when I select CC). I prefer not to uninstall CC 2014 but will if that is the only option.

    We don't overwrite your apps so you can keep previous workflows. . Delete apps you don't want when you are ready.

  • I transferred files and photos from MacBook to iMac via ethernet cable and using migration assistant. However every time I transferred, it created a separate user and it transferred all files and photos again and again. So now I have 3 users accounts ?

    I transferred files and photos from MacBook to iMac via ethernet cable and using migration assistant. However every time I transferred, it created a separate user and it transferred all files and photos again and again. So now I have 3 users accounts with all files and photos saved 3 times on same iMac !! Any idea how to avoid this ?

    Yes, you ran into a very understandable problem.
    When you use Migration Assistant, it cannot over-write the account that you happen to be using at the time. Upon migrating accounts, it will tell you that it is going to create a new one, but that message is easy to miss.
    If you have three identical accounts, log in to the account you want to keep, and delete the redundant ones in System Preferences > Users & Groups.
    Now that you know, the easiest way to migrate accounts is to use Setup Assistant when you first get a new Mac. That eliminates any possibility for this to occur, but most people are so eager to use their new Mac that they elect to migrate later.
    That's OK too, but in that case you would want to create a temporary account whose sole purpose is to run Migration Assistant so that you may migrate your old one with an identical name. Be sure to give the new account Administrator privileges. When that finishes you would log in to the newly migrated account, and delete the temporary account.

  • Can i share certain photos with other iphone users via icloud

    Hey zubairl,
    Thanks for the question. For Privacy, you must be the original owner of the calendar to share with others. Because you are simply subscribed to the calendar, you do not see the option for sharing. To resolve your issue, have the owner of the calendar “share” it with the recipient, or have the recipient subscribe to the calendar just as you have done (if you have access to the public subscription link).

  • I can't enable the ownership of my back-up volume via get info. Any other suggestions?

    Hi people, My external hard drive is not working well. When I try to make a time-machine back up a window pops up: ‘Mac-OSX can’t repair the disk. You can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can’t save changes to files on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can’. So now I am trying to copy my back-up files to another disk so I can reformat it. But when I try to do that, the following text appears: The backup files can’t be copied because the backup volume doesn’t have ownership enabled. The problem is that I can’t enable the ownership of the back-up volume.

    Yes its my Time Machine disk that’s damaged. What can I do now? Format the disk and loose all my back-ups?
    You may be able to restore individual items, or even an entire backup, as long as you don't happen to hit the damaged area(s).  But yes, your only real option is to erase the disk and start over.  When you do that, you might want to take the time to have Disk Utility write zeros to the entire disk (see section (b) in the blue box of #1 in Using Disk Utility if you're not sure how to do that) -- if that fails, you know the disk itself is failing and must be replaced.  If it succeeds, the drive may be ok.
    And how can I prevent this in the future. I know at least I had to have a second back up disk but I never did that.
    You probably don't know yet what caused it.  If it's the disk failing, obviously you need a new one.  Other things that can cause disk corruption are power blips, being disconnected improperly, or your Mac crashing or losing power while the disk is connected, especially during a backup.
    For power problems, the best solution is a U.P.S. (battery backup) system.  A good surge protector will protect against power spikes, but not dips or sudden loss of power.
    I allready tried several times to change ownership with Get Info but I can’t. I don’t see a checkmark and the
    section isn’t clickable either. Any other suggestions?
    The screenshot is of your TM drive.  The message is about the drive you're trying to copy to, such as:

  • How can I embed a photo into macmail?

    I don't want to send it as an attachment but would like for it to show up in the body of the e-mail. What should the format be? I've tried cutting and pasting but that ends up as an attachment. Thanks!

    If you are using macmail - and your photo is in iPhoto - as others suggested you can just drag and drop it... after selecting new message. However, as far as the recipient, that mail program may or may not display it that way and you would have to check the settings as other suggested.
    I would tend to think that most mail programs would not show embedded pictures as a security precaution. There may be settings within the recipients email program to allow for thus -- you would have to check & would depend on the mail program itself

  • I can not locate my photos on external hard drive to get them into iphoto

    I backed my laptop up on an external hard drive, then installed snow leopard and to get my laptop to run faster I did a fresh install of OS X. Once I got everything done i put my stuff back on laptop and everything looks good except my photos. I have no photos, I am trying to figure out if somehow they never made it to the external hard drive or if I just can't find them on there to get them back on my laptop. I am not that great with computers and I am sure my terminology isn't exact but I am trying my best to figure this out. Thanks for any help

    I believe I had leopard and I was having issues getting errors of system not being supported. I contacted Apple and was advised I needed to upgrade to snow leopard. My laptop is from 2009 and I haven't done anything to it till now. The apple rep also stated I should do a fresh install when putting snow leopard on so my laptop would run faster. Apple rep told me to get a external hard drive to put my info on it so the fresh install would reset everything to like it was brand new. I had someone help me with getting everything on the EHD.. doing the right format and such and then once that was done I put in the CD for snow leopard and hit install. Which brings me to now, with everything but my pictures. I have the EHD plugged in... now what? What do I do? I have looked in the EHD in iphoto and it was all standard images *not my pictures but images of a check mark or an arrow again not actual pictures. I don't see a folder pictures and i looked for images and found nothing. I have Applications, Included Free Designs, Library, System, User Guides and Information and Users, those are my options and non of those have a "pictures"
    I have iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 & Mac OS X version 10.6.3

  • How can I make my photo albums sync between devices via iCloud?

    I've recently started using iCloud to sync my iPhone 5 and iPad (original iPad). Problem is: new albums I create on my iPad in Photos are not appearing on my iPhone in Photos.
    I thought they were meant to sync automatically but I've waited a week for them to sync and nothing has changed.
    I just went into iCloud in my iPhone and did 'Backup Now' and upon completion, it's made no differecne to my missing photo albums.
    Photos are turned on in iCloud on both devices.
    Is there a way to 'force' iCloud to sync them up?
    Thanks in advance for any help offered.

    Is your phone number checked in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at. If it is selected in there, make sure that nothing else is checked that would cause the phone number to not be used.
    Sometimes all that you have to do is to close the app completely and then launch it again and that might jump start the syncing of your messages. In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    If all of that is set up properly, you may have to sign out of messages on your devices and start over again. Start with the phone first so that the phone number is accessible to use on the iPad. Maybe this will be of some help.

  • I got a new iphone and i restored it from my old one but I'm missing a ton of photos. How can I download the photos from my old phone and get them to my new one?

    Help please!

    Restore it thru iTunes. At the prompt about using a backup, choose the other option to set up as a new iPhone.
    Or, go to Settings/ General/ Reset/ Erase All Content and Settings, then don't select a backup.

  • How can you adjust vertical photos in the interactive image widget?

    It appears that adding a vertical image to the Interactive Widget automatically crops the top half of the image and won't let you adjust the default view.
    Anyone else having this? Solving this?

    Same problem. I cannot move the default position of the image. If you hide the Title, then at least the full image is visible, but it cannot moved and it is aligned to the top of the image area.

  • How can I be sure iMessage is sending and receiving via WiFi and not using my text message allotment?

    My daughter has a new iPad Touch and I have a 3GS with 5.0.1. She wants to send and receive a million messages from me each day day with iMessage. Right now, I have Settings>Messages>Send As SMS - OFF. With this current setting, can I be assured I am using the WiFi only and not burning my SMS allotment from ATT? Am I safe to restore Send As SMS setting to ON? In other words, will the default method of transmission of text messages be through the internet, when that service is available?
    Without waiting for a $1000 bill from ATT for text messages, can I ensure I'm sending and receiving iMessages through the WiFi only?

    Well, I just noticed that a shaded iMessage appears in the enter text window when sending to her iPod Touch and my messages appear in a blue balloon, with her replies are in gray balloons. When sending to someone with another kind of phone, the text entry window says "Text Message" and my balloons are green. I guess this is an indication that the iMessage system is working and I'm not blowing through my SMS allotment from ATT.
    With these indications, can I be sure I'm messaging through the iMessage system, or the carrier's SMS service?
