Folders preset to save photos by date?

I've imported my first set of photos, but it looks like the folders are automatically saving them into ones by date. I need to customize my folder structure, but I cannot figure out how to do that once the photos have been imported. Sorry about the very basic question. SO overwhelmed.

After you have imported your images you can still change the names of the folders they are in. just be sure to do this withing Lightroom.
In the Folers panel, right click on any folder and select "rename".
When you do your next import be sure to check the right side panel. That will determine how your folder structure will look. You can customize from dates or existing folders or a single folder.
This video by Julieanne Kost is quite a comprehensive look at the import options.

HT201317 Can I save photos from folders on my laptop to iCloud?

Does anyone know if I can save photos from folders on my laptop to iCloud?

iCloud is used to copy photos between devices, not as a storage system. If you are looking for a place to store photos, use the laptop, buy an external hard drive if space is becoming an issue. If you want to sync photos to your devices, then use photo stream or connect via USB cable to itunes....

I can't save photos from mail to desktop or iPhoto all of a sudden! 10.8.5

I have an iMac, OS 10.8.5. Up until a few months ago I was able to save photo email attachments to iPhoto or my dekstop with no issues but now I can not. I try to drag photo attachments to either place, it it doesn't work. I try to right click for options, nothing. I'm really not sure what the problem is but it is very frustrating!

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

How do I use my I cloud account to save all my data no my device? I purchase $ 100 dollars deal because my phone memory was almost full.

How do I use my I cloud account to save all my data no my device? I purchase $ 100 dollars deal because my phone memory was almost full.

If you're asking if there is a way to add memory to your device, there isn't. iOS devices have a fixed capacity that can't be expanded by using expansion cards or other hardware solutions.
If you're running out of capacity on your devices, the only solution is to store less on your phone. You can import your photos and videos to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, then delete it from your device. If you still want some of the photos on your device, put them in a folder on your computer then select the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your device.
You can also sync only some of your music to your device rather than your entire library, or subscribe to iTunes Match and stream it from iCloud. You can also not keep as many movies, tv shows and other media on your device.

New to iMac , how do I save photo's to my computer?

I just got a i-mac , this is my first mac computer so I am lost.
I am trying to save photo's to my computer from a disk and am
not sure how to do this.
On my old computer I could just right click and save the image
but I can not do that on the mac.

Just drag it into a folder, open your desired folder and drag photos between the two.
Pressing command while doing this will move the files, you'll see the icon change, the symbol will dissapear when command is pressed. Yes this works like the Move in Windows's right click contextual menu.
Alternately, you can also right click on an image, then choose Copy "[image name]", and paste it into your desired folder. Command clicking is like Control clicking on Windows, it will keep all the files you clicked selected. Command+C also works for this, however there is no Cut & Paste like in Windows, just Copy & Paste.
You can also select, drag and hold the photos over a folder or a directory and they will actually open, spring loaded folders I think its called, but this is actually slower as there is a short wait for folders to open. Esc to cancel.

How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo file on my computer.

How do I save photos that have been synced to my Ipad2, so that they do not get deleted when I sync with a different photo foder on my computer (Pc win7).

Place that first folder of photos that you synced to the iPad within the main folder of photos that you sync from and select them to sync again. You can place any number of subfolders within the main folder that you sync from and select those folders to sync. Just "tick"(select) the folders in the photos tab in iTunes.

When finished editing click File->Save/Save As and you can either overwrite the original file or rename it and save as new file keeping original intact.
You can find more info on saving and various settings here http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshopelements/using/WS287f927bd30d4b1f89cffc612e28adab65-7 fda.html#WS287f927bd30d4b1f89cffc612e28adab65-7fd7

Max # of pictures in a shared photo stream - Data usage?

Is there a limited number of pictures you can put into a shared photo stream. I know with the regular its 1k, is that the limit for the shared ones as well. Or can I create a photo stream with my entire photo library and have it all backed up on icloud.
Seperately how much data does shared photo streams use. Is it essentially downloading/uploading every photo to each device even over cellular connections. Its not a huge deal, but I'd rather not use up my data because a friend dropped 500 pictures of their dog into a shared stream. (But I do like dogs) Also does it take up space on your phone or is it all just held at the cloud level and you are essentially downloading it each time you look at it?

According to Apple's documentation, there's no limit (I still find that hard to accept, but they have said so). You mention using is as a backup - NEVER rely on icloud for backing up photos, ALWAYS sync then to a computer for safekeeping and storage, as you would save photos from a camera. Too many users have lost photos performing restores from an icloud backup.
Apple's docs indicate that shared photo streams do not count towards your icloud storage limit (also hard to believe, but there you go). Friends cannot add photos to your stream, they can only make comments.
icloud stores the photos and downloads them individually when you tap on a thumbnail pic. Note that you have no control over the sorted appearance of the photos.

What is shared photo stream data shown under in iTunes?

Is data from shared photo streams on my iPhone shown under the "Photos" or the "Other" category in iTunes? I'm trying to figure out why my "other" category has gotten huge. I know that this may be any number of acutal issues, and that there are forums for those, but I have recently added some large shared photo streams and am wondering if that could be it. I have been unable to find the answer to this question already on the forum.
Anyone know?

Viewing photos in date/time order?

I am trying to organise and view my photos in chronological order in Aperture (& iPhoto).
I have a mixture of GMT, GMT+1 and GMT+4 photos and the view set to "Date" (rather than Version Name or File Name, for example).
Although the time looks correct on the photos they are not displaying in order, presumably because of the +GMT variable.
How do manage the photos such that they can be seen in chronological order?
Thank you

I expected Aperture to import the date/time stamp as it is on the picture, not the local time zone whenever imported.
Aperture does, but the EXIF date/time stamp does not necessarily have a time zone attached, even if the camera knows the time zone. That is why Aperture will default to the current system time zone.
You can check, which time zones Aperture is using for your dates, if you quit Aperture and change the date&time formats in the System Preferences to include the time zone.
System Preferences > Language & Region , click the "Advanced" button, open the "Times" tab. Drag a Time Zone item to the Medium and Long Time Format like this:
When you relaunch Aperture it should now append the Time Zone to any "Date" from the "EXIF" meta data, if you use a metadata preset, that includes the EXIF "Date" field.

Save photos in recovery mode

is there any way to save photos while in recovery mode

Nope. All data is already gone if the phone is in recover mode.

Cannot save photos on iphone 5

As of June 1 I cannot save photos to my camera roll. If I "save image" from a message or facebook, they don't save to the camera roll. Also, when I take a photo with the phone the picture shows in the lower left but doesn't save to the camera roll.

Connecting to iTunes on the Computer you Usually Sync and Back Up to will prompt you to Backup and Transfer Purchases as well as ask you to Import your Photos.
Your Issue may be too many Photos in your Camera Roll.
If you like... Try This First...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer..)
Release the Buttons...
If the issue persists... Try the Restore.

Why can't I save pictures with Dates in name such as 2010/05/20 subject.jpg?

I am trying out Photoshop CS5 before I buy and found out I can no longer save pictures by dates to keep them in order.It has worked in every photoshop I have owned before. If you use a photo name like 2010/05/20 subject.jpg It gives you (could not save as "2010:05:20 subject.jpg" invalid file name)

I don't have a copy of CS5, so cannot confirm, but...
Apple did a very strange thing when it changed from System 9 to OS X (a long time ago!). The separator character in System 9 paths was ":", while the separator character in Unix is "/". This means that you cannot have a ":" in a file name in System 9, and you cannot have a "/" in a file name for Unix, including all versions of Mac OS. There is a work-around that I don't really understand that allows Mac to put a ":" in a file name on OS X that is then displayed as a "/". You can test this by creating a file with "/" in it and then doing a "ls" in Terminal. A file named "This/file/has/slashes.rtf" in Finder becomes "This:file:has:slashes.rtf" in Terminal.
In any event, this work-around is a recipe for disaster (a file has a different name in the Finder than it when looked at by Unix command-line tools?--careful!).
I always use dashes in my dates.
I suspect that CS5 is using different Apple code than CS4, resulting in this issue.

Cannot save photos after opening (can only do a "Save As")

Software: Adobe Photoshop CS3
OS: XP w/SP3
System: Dell vostro 200, 2.20GHz Duo, 2GB RAM, 160GB HD (mostly free), Intel G33/G31 Express 128.
ERROR:
Could not save photo.jpg because the file is locked. Use Properties command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file.
Actions took:
I fully installed all the updates, when unsuccessful, I repaired the installation, when that was unsuccessful, I completely uninstalled and then reinstalled Photoshop. This was also unsuccessful.
Our photos are on a network share and the user has full access to the folder and files (they are not locked or read only). When I access the photos on a different computer, I can open them, make changes, and then save without any problems. When the affected user does, they get the above error when trying to saveand they have the exact same access as the one that works.

it might be a network issue, and oopening files on a network isn't supported by adobe except when using version cue. best to copy locally then save back to the local drive and use explorer to update the network copy. windows has lots of built in protections to maintain data integrity when copying to and from a network that photoshop doesn't.
that said, and if you insist on working on a file residing on the network, make sure other apps which might have access to the file are closed. especially windows explorer and bridge.

Why Apple doesn't provide .jpg-files for photos with date and our like Blackberry and Samsung?

I have to save photos (for medical use) on my pc and this suffix would be useful to identify them quicker.
