  • When I try to print a photo downloaded from Facebook in iPhoto, I can't get the size I specify to print correctly. Example: 5x7 prints smaller than 5x7. What do I do to solve this problem?

    When I try to print a photo downloaded from Facebook in iPhoto, I can't get the size I specify to print correctly. Example: 5x7 prints smaller than 5x7. What do I do to solve this problem?

    Those pixel dimemsions have aspect ratios that are not the same as a 5 x7 print:
    1360 x 1360 = 1.0
    790 x 640 = 1.23
    2048 x 1366 = 1.5
    An 7 x 5 image = 1.4.
    So you'll need to crop the images to 5 x 7 before printing.  The first two images are a little light in the pixels to produce a high resolution 5 x 7 print.

  • Why cant I drag a photo say from Facebook into Iphoto anymore

    Hi, I'm not very techy, in the last few days I seem unable to drag a photo say from Facebook into Iphoto anymore, always been able to before, any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

    It's only a workaround till you find a solution.  This problem is not affecting everyone so it's associated with one's particular setup. 
    Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try from there. Next boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command+R keys held down, and run Disk Utility to repair permissions and repair the disk.  If that doesn't help boot again in the Recovery volume and reinstall the system.

  • Move photos albums from Picassa to Iphoto

    Hello,
    Does somebody have a solution to move or transfer photo albums from Picassa to Iphoto?
    Of course with as much as possible maintaining the titles, descriptions etc given in Picassa. Thanks for help.
    Roland Demey

    Is this Picasa the app or Picasa the Web Service?
    You'll need to export from whichever. What metadata gets written to the files will be a setting on Picasa. If they are written to standards like Exif or IPTC then they will be picked up by iPhoto.
    Testing on one or two first might be an idea.
    Regards

  • Copying Photo Albums from the iPhone to my new MacBook

    I put some photo albums on my iPhone from my old laptop. I didn't take the photos with the iPhone, but they are stored there. How do I copy them to my new MacBook? Can I perform a photo synch without erasing them?

    This is really something they should make possible. Being able to view the iPhone as an attached USB device so we can drag things over like any other hard drive. My computer crashed and the last think I had thought of was to backup the images I made specifically to upload to my iPhone (portfolio images). Nnow I'm left having to redo it cause I want to update it and can't cause it will just replace the existing folder with the new data. Ugh.

  • Copy photo ALBUMS from Iphone4 to new Iphone5c?

    Hello.
    I finally started my new Iphone5c. Now it seems impossible to copy or move the photo albums of my old Iphone4 to my new phone.
    How would I do that?
    Thank you very much for any help!

    Well the safest and secured methodology/process to transfer photos from iphone to iPhone/iPad or Android phone is by utilizing Wi-Fi with SmartIO App, like mentioned here:

  • Copy photo albums from iphone

    I really need to copy all my photo albums to Imac and delete them from the iphone.

    @chamin, it's not that you're not apple-savvy...it's that these Apple administrators are not helping you. I realize it is a year since this thread has been active so it is probably too late for you, but since I had the same problem and NOBODY is posting a solution, I will post mine here to help the next person. Afterward, I will post my rant on this subject.
    SOLUTION:
    I installed Dropbox on the iPhone, and then went into dropbox, and selected Upload. It then threw me into the albums I wanted to upload. I had to check each individual photo, and then wait for Dropbox to sync via WiFi. After it did…I then went to the Mac, where I had installed Dropbox already, waited for it to sync, and moved the photos/videos from my Dropbox folder into a folder offline.
    (now stop here, unless you want to read my rant)
    VIOLA!!! I am now thinking WHY is there not a straightforward solution from Apple support, and WHY do people ignore the need to accomplish this task????
    There SHOULD be a way to do this using iTunes or a Mac computer. I am very disappointed at all the apple support forums where administrators are continually parroting the "the proper method of syncing photos/videos" and outright ignoring the actual situation that needs to be dealt with. Typical IT support snobbishness…always questioning "how come you want to do it that way…you should be doing it this way, blah blah blah". Take my example, and start to help by answering the user's questions and quit trying to defend the illogical nature of something.
    This is another reason I am a major promoter of PC, and heavily against any deployment of Macs. Although I love the iPhone because of its stability, iPhone users tend to use Macs…and I am in a working environment where there are so many people who want to use Mac instead of PC. I use a Mac every day to evaluate it from a support perspective, and I have detailed lengthy notes on the problems with using a Mac in the PC environment but nobody cares…because users don't care about knowing how a computer works. Once again, I had to figure out a workaround that Apple doesn't support. I actually should come forward and admit that Microsoft support administrators have pretty much the same arrogance and smudgeness.

  • Synching Photo Albums from Iphone to Iphoto

    My Macbook was stolen a few months back and I'm wondering if I there's a way to synch the photo albums in my Iphone to my new Macbook Pro.

    Nope. It's a one way deal. iTunes reduces the file size of the photos for the iPhone display.
    There may be third party utilities to pull the image files off the iphone, but the photo quality is going to be very low.
    Sorry.

    while cleaning my iPhoto archive
    What do you mean by that?  Do you mean you deleted photos or albums from your iPhoto Library?
    You best solution is to use Time Machine to restore your library from just before you "cleaned your iPhoto archive".

  • How do I sync/copy a photo album from iPad2 to Mac?

    Hi,
    Sorry if this was asked before but, how can I transfer a photo album from my iPad2 to a Mac computer using Lion?  Somehow iPhoto on my Mac can't find my photo album on the iPad.  Album doesn't show up in iTunes either.
    Thanks in advance for helping!

    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • Photos deleted from facebook are now missing from iPhoto

    How do I recover photos that went missing after deleting an album from facebook?

    As documented iPhoto and Face book are synced and if you delete photos that weruploaded using the iPhoto/FB uploaded then deleting photos on eaither platform will delete them ont he other platform - that is what syncing is all about - keeping the two the same

  • How do I download photos from Facebook to iPhoto

  • Hi, I need help.  yesterday I copied one of my photo albums from my computer to Ipad 6 , using itunes.  The album was successfully copied but my already few existing photo albums are suddenly empty,  The album title is there but no photos inside.

    Hi
    Need your help. Some of my photo albums are showing as  a blank after copying a photo album from my computer to ipad 6 using itunes.  Can anyone help.,  Those albums were my treasure and i do not have any back of those.

    It's better to post the URL of the feed (as you have subsequently done) than the contents of the feed .
    From the FeedValidator report the feed is basically OK for iTunes. There are several occasions where 'content:encoded' sections (following immediately on 'guid' tags) should be enclosed in
    <description>...</description>
    tags: however all this will be ignored by iTunes anyway and only applies to other readers. The 'potentially dangerous content' referred to by FeedValidator is within the 'content:encoded' tags and so isn't relevant to iTunes. They are referring to an inline css style, and I don't know whether this might cause a problem elsewhere.
    You should really have a language tag, e.g.
    <language>en-us</language>
    (you have a dc:language tag but that's for a different system). This should be placed in the top section, before the first 'item' tag.
    It's advisable to have an 'itunes:explicit' tag for each 'item' -
    <itunes:explicit>yes IF CONTAINS ADULT MATERIAL, OTHERWISE no</itunes:explicit>
    it's not compulsory if you have no adult material, but you must have a 'yes' if you do.
    You can check your feed by subscribing in iTunes from the 'Advanced' menu - this has the same result as clicking the 'Subscribe' button on the Store page. If it works OK there you are ready to submit it.

  • In OSX 10.9.5 (mavericks) want to export photo from Facebook to IPhoto 09 8.1.2

    I am running Mavericks -- I have OSX 10.9.5 -- I want to export a photo from Facebook to IPhoto 09 8.1.2.   I tried to drag and drop -
    didn't work. 

    Didn't work for me. Anyone else have an idea????
    I guess the only possible answer is using the same level of detail as the question - "then you need to fix it"
