How do I get the pictures out of my iPhone 4s and save it to my PC?

How do I get the pictures out of my iPhone 4s and save it into my PC?

Hello i-am-big-david,
On a PC (Window 7) the iPhone shows as a digital camera in Windows Explorer under the computer section. You can import the photos from there. Sorry I'm not familiar with Windows 8, yet.

Apparently you have two catalogs now, one from each installation. If you did importing, tagging and editing during the first installation, that will all be in the first catalog. Find the first catalog - it is a file with the suffix .lrcat and the default place for LR to put it is usually your Pictures folder - and (with LR closed) double-click on it. LR will launch with catalog #1 active.

How do I "mask" or blurr out sections of movie clips saved in windows media format in After Effects

I was informed that I needed to use After Effects to "mask" or blurr out sections of movie clips saved in windows media format.
I have the movie clip in composition, I see the effects and presets drop box on the lower right.
How do I insert the text blocks to mask certain areas of the movie clip?
Thank you,
Preston

Quiz drag and drop, do the pictures need to be movie clips?

I just worked my way through a Flash MX quiz template
tutorial. The drag and drop uses movie clips, but they don't say
this is required. Can I use png files from my library? I tried and
it doesn't appear to work.
I am very new at all this, so please bear with me. If I have
to make the pictures into a movie clip, how do I do this, and how
do I get them into my library?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have a Recently Added playlist. However, I discovered that the file I had named Eating Healthy was given the name You Can Enjoy Eating Healthy when it copied to iTunes. I'm guessing iTunes pulled the full name of the piece from the internet. Upshot--the mp3 did transfer to iTunes on all 3 tries, but I was looking in my alphabetized list under E, not Y, so I didn't see it there. Thanks for your help.

How can i get the pictures out of my ipod

Im giving my old ipod to my niece but it still has pictures on it that I dont want to lose. how can retrieve the pictures from the ipod before resetting it? its an ipod nano 3rd gen.

computers do sometimes recognise iPods as cameras when there are saved photos on them.
as iDeer says, saved photos (unlike synced photos) can be deleted on the iPod. just go into the saved photos folder, go to the photo you wish to delete, select it, then click the bin logo in the bottom right hand corner.
when you have saved photos on your iPod, this is the only time when it will act as if it has a 'disk mode'. you will be able to access them as you would access any other form of disk/usb stick (again, like iDeer, I don't have a Mac, so I'm not sure of the exact procedure). you can delete the photos by navigating to it like this.
i'm not sure how iPhoto works either, but can't you delete the photos in there? i've also read somewhere on here that you can switch off the setting for iPhoto to open when you plug in a 'camera'. again, i'm not sure where you'd find that setting, but i think it is there.

Getting a movie clip to stop playing, when another one is activated.

Hello,
I have a file with 3 movie clips and three buttons that control them to play...with the script below It is working fine.
stop()
function startImageOne(Event:MouseEvent):void
    imageOne_mc.play();
function startImageTwo(Event:MouseEvent):void
    imageTwo_mc.play();
function startImageThree(Event:MouseEvent):void
    imgThree_mc.play();
start1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startImageOne);
start2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startImageTwo);
start3_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startImageThree);
Then, I wanted to stop a movieClip, if another one was selected to play..so I inserted stop options to the function, which I thought would work, but doesn't. Does any one know why...See this code below..
thanks
stop();
function startImageOne(Event:MouseEvent):void
    imageOne_mc.play();
    imageTwo_mc.stop();
    imgThree_mc.stop();
function startImageTwo(Event:MouseEvent):void
    imageTwo_mc.play();
    imageOne_mc.stop();
    imgThree_mc.stop();
function startImageThree(Event:MouseEvent):void
    imgThree_mc.play();
    imageOne_mc.stop();
    imageTwo_mc.stop();
start1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startImageOne);
start2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startImageTwo);
start3_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startImageThree);
thanks

Hi Ned,
I checked the names and they are all correct...(I named one of the instances img instead of image, but it is all fine.
The movie clips are simple...They have a stop action in the first frame, and then it is just an image that fads in and fades out..
Pretty simple?
The code looks fine, so I can't figure out, why the movie clip that is currently playing doesn't stop, when another button is activated.
It seems like is should work??
I'll keep playing .. thanks!!

Working with movie clip in flex

I am using a movie clip with animation having 2 frames
developed in flash cs3 in flex. The movie clip has mouse hover and
mouse out animation. Now I am using the movie clip and want to make
a click event on the clip. But it does not work at one click. I
have to click more than once. Also When I remove that animation the
click event goes well.
Can I make a movie clip by flex?
or
How can I use that movie clip with animation developed in
flash cs3 and also click event work well.
Please help me.

Actully I have two frame in movie clip(cs3). On mouse hover
it goes to second frame and on mouse out it comes to first frame.
Now when I am using this movie clip in flex and want to get the
click event on that movie clip it does not work at once. If I
remove the mouse hover and mouse out from movie clip the click
event works. But to get those mouse hover and mouse and in over
movie clip I had to write to many code.
However that mouse hover and mouse out by flex over movie
clip it takes time to get work.

CS5 movie clips in timeline don't auto-play

So I used flash for some relatively extensive movies back in the MX days, but haven't done much with it since. I'm trying to build a relatively simple movie now in the newest version of the software, but I'm having some trouble.
I want to create various smaller movie clips with animations in them, then drop them into the main timeline and have them animate automatically when the playhead hits them. However, when I view the movie (or test it) all I get is the first frame, they don't animate.
Did I set up the document wrong or something, or is this something basic I missed in the newer versions? Is there a better way to structure this?

Theoretically that's how I always thought it's supposed to work, but it isn't... I created a new document (new > actionscript 3.0) to test this out, then a movie clip within it containing a block that moves left to right. Doesn't animate in the main timeline. Do I need to specifically tell the clip to animate on that frame? Seems redundant.

Embed movie clip in flex

Hey,
I have converted a avi file to an swf file with "MediaCoder".
My plan was to simply embed this movie clip into my flex application, which did not work for me. :-(
How can I embed the swf movie into flex AND play/stop the movie with buttons?
I tested the following code, but when I click on the stop button I get the error:
"TypeError: Error #1009: Der Zugriff auf eine Eigenschaft oder eine Methode eines null-Objektverweises ist nicht möglich."
Obviously there is a problem with that swf file because another swf file is working...

Can't get 2164 pictures off iPhone

At this point I have 2164 pictures I've taken with my iPhone, but I can't get a single photo off the phone via the USB connection (I can email a few, but this is not only extremely time consuming, but not very practical) and I need to get a few hundred off the phone ASAP for work.
I've read thru the many posts about this issue and I can not believe that Apple has let an issue this big slip past so easily.
I've tried to get the pics off with three different computers now - two Macs (a brand new 8-core Mac Pro and an older G5 2.0Ghz) and a Dell Inspiron 1501 (Laptop). None of them can read the pics on the iPhone. I've tried different USB ports and everything. This is most definitely an iPhone issue. The computers can see the iPhone, but iPhoto under Mac, Scanner and Camera Wizard under XP, and all other image programs I've tried will not read the pics off the iPhone.
Even worse, iTunes won't sync the photos without deleting what's on the iPhone first. And that doesn't do me a lot of good. I'm willing to look past the fact that this is a great disservice to what could be a great experience - as long as Apple comes out with a decent bug fix ASAP...
One last thing, I have only one folder for my pics, which is a massive amount of pics to have in one folder - scrolling thru to find one pic takes forever. Is there a way to put the pics in different folders thru the iPhone?

Rhyd, did you NOT read my post??? Your comment doesn't make any sense and comes off as sounding quite rude.
Even with only 5Gb of RAM, OS X can still cache to the hard drive whenever it needs to, so your comment about "All the RAM that a MacPro can hold could not do this for you" is absurd. The amount of RAM a Mac has, doesn't have anything to do with the fact that the iPhone isn't working properly.
No, I didn't ignore anything. I bought an iPhone specifically for a two week business trip (to Europe where I did not have access to iPhoto). When I returned with a lot of pics (2,164 pics to be exact), the upload process didn't work with anything - Mac OS X, nor Windows XP. iTunes didn't work. iPhoto didn't work. Nothing worked.
I took an additional 1500+ pics with another camera I had brought on the trip - filled up a 2Gb card with 6MP pics, and I didn't have any problems getting the pictures out of it. iPhoto is not the greatest of apps when you deal with a lot of pics on a daily basis, but at least it (usually) works. With the iPhone, it doesn't work - AT ALL. It doesn't see the iPhone as a camera device, and doesn't give you any options to even try, which leads me to believe that the iPhone has a few bugs that need to be addressed.
I doubt I could have exceeded the memory of the Mac for getting pics off an iPhone - we're talking roughly 930Mbs of pictures on the iPhone - which is not very much (I often fill up 2Gb cards on a daily basis) and even with the video and podcasts, the 8Gb iPhone still has over 4Gb of free space. If it's a problem with the iPhone not having enough RAM, then Apple should have made a built-in limit on how many pics you could take with it until they could figure out how to work with the limited amount of RAM the iPhone does have.
Either way, Apple needs to release a fix for getting pictures off the iPhone, ASAP.
And off the record, I probably take more pictures in a single week than most have in the past three years. I do Photography, High Definition, and Film for a living (including time-lapse photography) - I work with USB, firewire, SATA, and SCSI on a daily basis. I was using "OS X" when it was still called "NeXT" (btw, the spinning ball hasn't changed a bit). My systems aren't anything to laugh at here either - we're talking heavy duty 2k editing systems with over 9TB of storage on the Mac Pro alone. Needless to say, I don't dabble in video or photography, and these systems are not toys.

How to obtain instance name of Movie Clip?

Hello!
Is there a way to get the instance name of a move clip once it's on the stage? In my dress up game, I need to know which items are on the doll in order to keep them visible. My drag and drop feature uses an array and currentTarget:
var dragArray:Array = [Doll.Drawers.Dress1, Doll.Drawers.Dress2, Doll.Drawers.Dress3, Doll.Drawers.Dress4];
          for(var i:int = 0; i < dragArray.length; i++)
                    dragArray[i].buttonMode = true;
                    dragArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, item_onMouseDown);
                    dragArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, item_onMouseUp);
function item_onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void
               var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
               clip.startDrag();
function item_onMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void
               var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
               clip.stopDrag();
               if(clip.hitTestObject(Doll.Skins))
                             //Here's where the problem starts!   ---------------------------------------------- //
                              trace("It's on the doll!");
It can successfully run this code. However, instead of tracing "It's on the doll!", I'd like to turn the currentTarget into it's instance name, which should be "Doll.Drawers.Dress1" etc... and then store that name in an array.
How would I do this?
I've looked into e.target.name, but I keep getting errors...

use the name property of clip (if that's the movieclip whose name you want):
var dragArray:Array = [Doll.Drawers.Dress1, Doll.Drawers.Dress2, Doll.Drawers.Dress3, Doll.Drawers.Dress4];
          for(var i:int = 0; i < dragArray.length; i++)
                    dragArray[i].buttonMode = true;
                    dragArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, item_onMouseDown);
                    dragArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, item_onMouseUp);
function item_onMouseDown(event:MouseEvent):void
               var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
               clip.startDrag();
function item_onMouseUp(event:MouseEvent):void
               var clip:MovieClip = MovieClip(event.currentTarget);
               clip.stopDrag();
               if(clip.hitTestObject(Doll.Skins))
                             //Here's where the problem starts!   ---------------------------------------------- //
                              trace(clip.name); // but that won't be Doll.Drawers.Dress1. it might be Dress1.
