Compress a photo before sending

How do I compress a photo file before sending?
Are there settings one can use to reduce the file to say 50 Mb or so?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Photos taken on the iPhone 3GS are 2048 × 1536 and about 1MB. When you email them they are reduced to 800x600 which is about 100KB.
You can't change these options AFAIK.

Is it necessary to Stuffit or Zip files before sending to print service?

Is it a good idea to compress a PDF before sending it by email or FTP? I work on a Mac in CS3 and have not had any problems with file corruption, but have read that this is the safest way to send files. Can high resolution for print jobs still be preserved if files are compressed? Thanks for any input.

In addition to Nina's: no, ZIP does not prevent corruption. However, it's far easier to detect if a file got corrupted because ZIP makes heavy use of checksumming, to ensure every single last bit (*) is at its proper place in the file. A PDF contains similar checks but on a more basic level.
There are some other differences: if a PDF got mangled in transfer, there is no way to open it. If it's truncated, it might be possible to open it (you'd get a "Repair this file?" prompt) -- but be aware there is no way telling what parts didn't get through.
If a ZIP got mangled or truncated, there is no way to successfully recover it, which usually is what you'd want (because you'd know for sure the transfer failed).
(*) Not really, but the chance it misses anything misplaced is something like one in four billion.

In Photo Stream, how add comments to multiple pictures before sending to iCloud?

When you have multiple photos in your Camera Roll that you want to send to subscribers via an iCloud Photo Stream, it seems that you can only add a comment to the first one of those photos before you post them all to iCloud. Am I missing something? I know you can add comments to multiple pictures once they're on iCloud as part of a Photo Stream, but I'd like to have the option of adding multiple comments before I post them.

Open Photo Stream.
Tap Select
Tap the pictures you want to save and a check mark will appear on each.
Tap Save
Choose either camera roll, or you can even create a new folder at this point

Compress Smartform PDF file before sending mail

Hi Experts,
I need to compress PO smartform.Smartform already converted into PDF file.Vendor received this file as an attachement in their mail box.Vendor complains that file size is too large.They want to compress that PDF file before sending mail.
Anybody can suggest how to compress a smartform which is already converted into PDF.

Hi Michael/Satyajit,
First of all thanks for the suggestions.
Actually I am working for a application maintenance project and after go-live user is complaining that previously the PO form size was 57 KB and after this implementation the form size is 618KB that is not acceptable.
I checked with the legacy system and found that the previous form was developed using SAPScript,converted to PDF and then used to send as an attachement to user mail box.
The new development environment using Smartform for PO form and then it is converted to PDF and send as an attachement to user mail box.I checked with the Logo and the logo size is only of 9KB.No other graphics used in the form.The developer had used 3-4 boxes in the form and page format is landscape. Style is used in the form and the used font is courier,font size is 10 pt .
Will change in style's font and font size reduces the size upto that level??

How do I down size my photos on the ipad before sending by email?

When I send pictures via email from my 3rd generation ipad they are "oversized" or too large.
How do I down size before sending?

In Safari, (the web browser), there are specific arrows to go back and forward through website pages.
In other Apps, it will depend on how the App is built.
As to Yahoo Mai it depends on where you are viewing the email. If you are using the Mail App, then you don't log out. The Mail accounts in the Mail App are always there.
If you are using the Yahoo App, You can Tap on the folder at the top, then on your account/name, and then on Sign Out.

How do I stop mail compressing my photos?

How do I stop mail compressing my photos? I have set 'Actual Size' in Mail and still the photos are compressed to thumbnail size.
I'm using Mavericks 10.9.2 on a 2011 iMac.

The best way is to use the Contextual menu application PhotoTool CM to losslessly rotate the photos before importing into iPhoto. Or use Xee, a free image editor with lossless rotation capability.
If your camera has the auto rotate feature turn it off and then follow the suggestion above before importing. That will rid iPhoto of the modified version rotated to the correct orientation.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How to erase personal info before sending a machine in for exchange?

I may have to return the iMac I just bought because of screen problems.
There's a lot of personal stuff on it already (mail account setup, photos, probably some saved website passwords) so I'm wondering if there's a quick and easy way to wipe out all the user data before sending the machine back to be swapped out?

I just upgraded from an eMac to an iMac. In order to wipe the old drive I reinstalled the OS (10.4.11), which overwrites the whole drive. My understanding is that this actually writes zeros on unused disk space. I'm not sure if there are more sophisticated solutions for those concerned about someone recovering data from an erased drive.
When you reinstall you have a choice of quitting setup before creating any accounts or setting up a user account. If you're returning the machine it doesn't matter, as they're likely going to reinstall the OS again so the new owner of the refurbished machine can go through the setup themselves.

Password protect files before sending to backup

I use dropbox for online backup. They lack the ability to password protect files before sending them to dropbox. Is there a way to do this, given how dropbox works?
Or, is there a backup service similar to dropbox (windows and mac in one account) that does provide password protection before sending?
One option is to compress and encrypt the files then drop that zip into a dropbox folder. I'd loose the auto backup monitoring since I would have to get involved with each backup but that's ok if nothing else is available. Any suggestions on something free that can compress and password protect the compressed file? Or if nothing free, what else is good?

How do I know the DMG is going over to dropbox encrypted?
Control-Click on the .dmg
Select Show Package Contents.
You should now see the individual 8MB chunks that make up the Encrypted Sparse Bundle.
Open any of them (maybe using TextEdit, or TexWrangler, or Smultron). If you can figure out what is says, then encryption is not working. However, what you should see is gobbledy gook (encrypted data).
Also, the DMG initially set its size to 100MB. Can that grow dynamically?
I am not sure, but I think it will not. However, because you are using a Sparse Bundle, it will only consume the space it needs to hold the files you put into the mounted .dmg, so you can size it for a very large size. Maybe the size limit Dropbox imposes on you.

Backup orig FCStudio install disks before sending for crossgrade

I am currently running FCP5.0 and decided to do the crossgrade with Apple (mainly because I just purchased Shake 4.1 and found out from a posting on the list AFTER I purchased it that Shake 4.1 won't run with 5.0.4)
Taking the suggestion of other posters to backup the original DVD's before sending them in, I did so. Two of the install disks (Motion and DVDSP) were approx 7 GB each. Since my G5DP2.5 only burns DVD +/-R, I purchased a LaCie DVD+/-R Dual Layer burner and burned those disks to DVD-R Dual Layer Verbatim Disks.
They show up on my machine if they are in the LaCie DL burner. They are spit out if put directly in my G5DP2.5 machine.
I have 3 newer Mac machines that the system profiler says burns DVD+R DL . So I burn them as DVD+R Dual Layer and those show up fine in those 3 newer machines, but not in my G5DP2.5 None of the machines will accept the DVD-R DL disks.
My questions:
1. Why do the original install DVD's work in my G5DP2.5 as I assume they are some sort of Dual Layer DVD because those two disks are approx 7 GB each?
2. Does everyone else have Dual Layer +/- R capability in their machines and have no trouble copying their disks as backup?
3. Ever the optimist, if for some reason I want to go back to 5.0 (5.0.4 is where it should be, I know) and do a clean install on the G5DP2.5, I'm guessing it will work to just attach the LaCie Dual Layer burner so my machine can read the disks?
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Sharon
(PS--When they all come in I will upgrade to 10.4.7 and QT 7.1.2) But hey, it has all been working mostly just fine for me...)

4 of the FC Studio 5 application installer Disks are dual layer.
DVD SP 4, Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro, LiveType Media 1, and Motion.
<
Umm, none of my cross-grade disks are dual-layer DVDs but that certainly does NOT mean that yours are not. That they are shipping this way is news to me. Learn something new every day around here if you're paying attention
Get Info will reveal the capacity of optical media, not necessarily the actual contents. You just need to be careful what figure you're looking at. And, the contents of installer DVDs are highly compressed archives. A 6G installer file might unstuff to much more than 10G.
Not all disk images can be used to run a complete installation, some require the physical disk for obvious copy protection that still includes serial numbers. I have no idea if Apple's are set up this way. The only way to find out is to create the images on your drive and try it.

How to reduce Q10 picture size before send

When you have photo send by email , The traditional BB have asking you which size you want to sue before send. But Q10, is same forget this function. Isn't it ?

The free Reader has never had the capacity to reduce the size of PDF files. You must have been using Acrobat.

Is it required to render before sending to compressor?

I was curious, is it required that you render a sequence before it is sent to compressor for compressing? I have a number of sequences where the difference between one and another is simply a cut/paste of one track, usually 15 to 20 mins long, and then the sequence is ready to compress out for delivery to the web. I realize that rendering will allow me to be completely sure everything with a track is ok but 9 times out of 10, I can check the new track in the viewer and if it's ok, just drop it into the sequence. Because there are some text overlays, it requires a full re-render to see the cut, which can be rather lengthy, about 10-15 minutes on my machine. I'd prefer to just cut/paste and send to compressor. Given that sequences are reference based I figured that rendering for compressor is not required as compressor does not use it but thought I would check in case I was miss-understanding something.

My understanding is that you will get the best quality by NOT rendering before sending to compressor as you will be rendering directly to the target compression rather than to the sequence compression first and then recompressing. However, I doubt you'll see the difference unless you're doing very complex compositing.

Rotate Photos Before Or After Importing To PC? Videos Won't Play On PC!!!

Hello,
I have an iPhone 5, before that a 3GS, and I've had NOTHING BUT FRUSTRATION with my photos & videos.
Well I'll get to my other complaints below, but for now; is it best to rotate the photos before I import to pc? If not do I correct the rotation in the import software (scanner & camera wizard etc), or shall I wait to rotate my 10,000 photos once I get them in my pc's final folder? Note not all 10,000 photos need rotating.
MY OTHER FRUSTRATIONS....I still have ALL my photos & videos 10,000 of them still on my camera roll, because I'm afraid the import may not be good, WHY???????.........WELL....Some of them would not import properly.........AND...THE DAMNED VIDEOS I just can't seem to get them to play on my p.c.
MY PC is old, but has 1 GB Ram and a 1.04 AMD Processor, with an older graphics card, but cost me $500 10 years ago, the motherboard is a nice one but is 8 years old, my p.c. is non-propietary.
WHY WON'T MY VIDEOS PLAY ON MY P.C......
AND AT WHAT POINT DO I SPEND THE HOURS & HOURS ROTATING MY 10,000 PHOTOS BEFORE IMPORT, WITHIN THE IMPORT PROGRAM OR AFTER I IMPORT THEM INTO MY PERSONAL FOLDER?
All I get from Apple is that it's something to do with me removing all the photos from the camera roll then putting them back on the phone in the photo library?
WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE SO COMPLICATED?
DO I NEED A NEW COMPUTER?
WHAT ARE THE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS?.........I THINK I MEET THEM
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Without knowing exactly what happens when you try to play a video, close all apps and reset your iPad.
In order to close apps, 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.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
IF that fails to help, and it very well could, you should describe what is happening so that more specific suggestions can be offered.

The problem is with the new operating system and sending photo via email when used in my iPad. From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow.

From photo I selected 3 photos to send via email. I choose the upload key and choose to send by email. Typing text on the email is very slow. This is solved by saving the email as a draft and opening the email again from mail.
Can you amend he system to allow emails to be sent from photo as previously.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

Can I remove hard drive before sending T60 for screen repair?

My screen started developing a thin blue line down the center. At first it only showed up occasionally, and then one day it never went away. It only shows up when the screen background is dark, not white like working with Microsoft Word, etc.
A friend who knows a lot about computers hooked it up to an external monitor and said since the line didn't show up on the monitor, it's probably a screen issue not a graphics card issue. I called Lenovo and an super great CSR said since the laptop is still under warranty, I can send it in to Lenovo for repairs.
I'm happy to do this because even though the line doesn't really interfere with the computer's performance, it is annoying to look at. However, I'm just a bit worried about sending my laptop via snail mail to a repair center (I've never had to do that with any electronic before thank God, least of all my Thinkpad that's generally permanently attached to me).
I asked the CSR if he'd recommend backing up my data - mine's mostly backed up onto an external, but I don't have it backed up anywhere else but the external and there are probably some files that I missed. Also I have sensitive information, passwords etc saved and I was just a little nervous about sending it in the mail because of that. The CSR said not to worry, since he thinks it's a hardware issue and he recommended that I just remove my hard drive before I mail it in. Before I ask my computer tech friend to help me out with that, I just wanted to double check that removing the hard drive before sending the laptop into Lenovo for repairs won't cause any problems.
Thanks so much - I've always been happy with my laptop.

Don't worry -- they are used to people shipping laptops without the hard drive. They just stick their own hard disk in to test that everything is working.
T500: Vista 32, 2.8GHz, 4GB RAM, 15.4" 1680x1050, 500GB 7200rpm, ATI Radeon HD3650 + Intel 4500MHD. T42: XP, 1.7GHz, 2GB RAM, 14.1" 1024x768, 250GB PATA, ATI Radeon 7500.

I need to backup my hard drive before sending it for repair, How?

My macbook will not turn on but my hard drive is still in good condition.
When I went to the genius bar the employee said something about a hard drive kit I could use to backup my files and such before sending it in.
I own an external hard drive, how can I transfer my files from my macbook's hard drive into my external hard drive before sending the computer in for repair?

Hi...use Carbon Copy Cloner....
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/7032/carbon-copy-cloner
...it will make an exact clone of your MacBook's current drive on the external and allow you to reload it on your new internal after it is installed....it is very easy to use...
