Getting my photos onto the desktop and saving/printing some of them

I am having problems pulling a fair amount of my photos off iPhoto. Some of the photos in albums, I have no problem with. But with others, this is what happens: when I click on some photos to enlarge, I get a white screen, if I try to click and drag them onto the desktop, nothing happens, if I try to print them, the page comes out blank, I can not save them to a CD, I've tried and the CD burns but no photos are on it, if I take some of my albums and click on slide show, the screen goes black and there are no photos. I've tried a number of things I could think of but without success. Any ideas on how I can get my photos back. I'm lost and haven't a clue on what to do next

Start iPhoto while holding the shift+option keys. Don't release them until you're prompted to confirm the intent to rebuild the photo database. Click "Yes", then click "Save". Go make yourself a cup of tea.

I can't get any widgets onto the Desktop in Lion (10.7.2) even with devmode on. Any ideas anyone?

So, new on the forum.
The problem is, that My sister baught a new iMac 27" with Lion preinstalled and we then updated it to 10.7.2.
Then she wanted the world clock from dashboard to desktop to stay and we found instructions how to do it with dashboard devmode made on in terminal.
But.. it just doesn't work.
We just can't get any widget onto the desktop not for a short time, not for stay.
Does anyone any ideas.
The third party software is not what we are looking dfor..
In the meantime, my mom baught a new iMac 21,5" with Lion and updated it to 10.7.2.
On this machine the widget instructions work fine!
What can be the difference between these two?

The Class.forName method throws a class not found exception, so ...as the compiler has told you ...you need to catch it or otherwise handle it.
It "must be caught, or declared to be thrown".
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
}catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
System.out.println(cnfe.toString());
}Here, I have 'caught' it.

Why is Finder opening new windows every time I drag a photo onto the desktop?

I've been having a couple of issues with my desktop (I am running 10.7.5):
1. When I save a photo by dragging it onto my desktop, it opens a new Finder window. It's only started doing this today, and I haven't changed any of my Preferences. How can I turn this function off?
2. I used to be able to drag a photo from my web browser to my desktop to save it. When it saved, it would stay where it was dragged. However, about a month ago, the files began snapping into rows rather than where I dragged them as well as piling up in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. How can I fix this so that they stay whereever I drag them when saving?
Thanks!

It's a bug in Chrome.

Simple way to get a photo onto the Touch?

Is there any way--including 3rd party app--to get a single photo, or a few pics, onto the Touch? Sometimes I just want to get something on the Touch without the bother of adding it to iPhoto or creating a dedicated folder, copying the pic to it, manually designating that folder in iTunes, etc.
In this case, I have a picture of a menu I found online, and I want to be able to reference it to call in an order when I'm out. Since I can't count on available wifi to retrieve it, I'd like to easily get it onto the Touch for when I need it.

or call it up when you do have wifi, hold your finger on it, and save the photo to your ipod.

I recently purchased icloud storage for my iPad Air. I want to store photos in the cloud and learn how to retrieve them. I need help.

I recently purchased iCloud storage for my iPad Air so that I can store my photos in the cloud. I don't know how to do this. I want to be able to retrieve them as well.

Hello Janet
With that iCloud storage that you purchased, is used for mainly for iCloud Backup for your iPad Air, app data as in games and documents for like iWork and other apps that save data locally within the app. Dealing with photos in your Photo Stream they actually do not count towards that storage plan. If you don’t think that the storage is going to work for you, then cancel the upgrade you just made.

I have a new mac and my old mac had my photos on it how can I get my photos onto iPhoto without using a external drive or flash drive?

My dad put a new mac in and the old Mac had my photos on it, and I checked iPhoto after it the new computer was plugged in and there was no photos in it, and my dad said that they should be in there but they aren't, so is there a way to get my photos onto the new Mac without the old one and without an external or flash drive? Because a lot of my photos I don't have on my camera because the memory card was full and the pictures that I had already had been on the old mac....
Thanks!

Have your dad post de what happened - you need to be at least 13 o se these forums and we need to be able to understand what you are asking
the basic answer to moving photos is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward. but you say you do not have the old computer
Unless you have a backup or there is more information the answer is there s no way now

How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

My phone was stolen, but I had no data left and so can't locate it till the person who has it tries to use the internet. I backed up all my photos on iCloud, and want to get them on my PC. I installed iCloud onto the PC and still can't find my pictures?

I installed iCloud onto the PC and followed the instructions and still can't find my pictures, says my photostream folder is empty, but it shows on iCloud that i've used most of my storage which is true, so they must be there somewhere?
Any ideas? I'd really appreciate the help! Thanks

Yes, I filed police report, but there is nothing they can do until I get back to them on the tracking. It's been offline. I'm sure the whoever took it can find a way around breaking in the ipad..i really was hoping to get my pictures and videos of my kids back

I want to reduce the image to fit the size of the box.

If you right click on the image on the page in the context menu select photo box alignment and then select one of scale to fit {centered, Left-aligned, Right-aligned}
That should do what you are loking for.

When I download software updates why do they appear on the desktop (and in devices) and not get saved to the HD (I click install to HD but they don't go there)

Double-click the white Adobe Reader Icon to open a new windows.
Double-Click the "Adobe Reader X Installer.pkg" file inside.
If it has already been installed it will notify you and say that it has been installed already.
If you no longer have those files go here to get the latest version of Adobe Reader.
http://get.adobe.com/reader/
Let me know how that all goes and if you have any hang ups.
ON TO THE NEXT POINT OF INTEREST
It sounds to me from researching the other white 'icon' you have that you are trying to install a copier by the brand of Rico Aficio.
Possibly the Aficio 2090/2105.
If so the install CD/Driver download for that copier must have also wanted you to install Adobe Reader to view the User Guides/ Documentation included.
If you are trying to install said device then double click the white icon labeled Ricoh_Aficio...double click the installer file inside of that.
It should run a setup/install window like Adobe Reader did then go from there. If it has already been install also you can go to your System Preferences -> Printers to see if it installed correctly and is working properly.
You can get to system preferences by clicking the Apple icon very upper left on your screen and selecting it from the drop down.

How do I recover a "complete" folder and place it back onto the desktop screen.

This has to be a common problem experienced by all Mac desktop users. I placed
an entire blue "file folder" (the common blue folders with tab) into the "trash" and
cannot take it out or delete it. I did it by accident because I wanted to "delete" a small
file, within the "entire blue folder". Apparently I put the "whole folder" in the "trash" instead
and now cannot take it out.
I have an exact copy on my desktop already, but I don't want to delete this folder that I
placed in the "trash". For now, I just want to recover it and put it back onto the desktop.
I don't mind having two copies for now.
To be extra clear, this is the usual blue "file folder" that contains "favorites", "shared", and "devices".
Within these are "all my files", "desktop", "your personal files", "applications", etc., etc.
Within these are "photos", "albums", "pictures", "video", and miscellaneous subsets of files.
This "entire" folder containing all these items are now in the trash.
I need to know a simple "step by step" process or instructions on how to take all this
out of the trash and to put it back on the desktop where I can see it on my computer screen
as a blue "file folder".
I'm not very computer knowledgeable except to use the internet and knowing how to use
data entry software.
So it would be important to explain to me "step by step". Any small detail left out and I might mess up.
I know there must be a simple way of doing this. All I see now is a pile of papers in the "trash" bin and
no way to get out my "file folder"
I appreciate all your help.
Thank you very much.

You cannot take a folder out of the Trash to your Desktop without erasing the one on the Desktop. You need to first change the name of the folder on the Desktop. Or you can open the folder that's in the Trash and drag the files onto the Desktop assuming there aren't too many of them.
But if you have a duplicate on the Desktop why do you need to remove the one that's in the Trash?
If you feel you must take the folder out of the Trash, then you need to rename the duplicate that's on your Desktop.
If you wish to put the folder back where it was when you deleted it, then open the Trash window, select the folder, then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select "Put Back" from the context menu.

Can't export to thumbdrive. I have saved to a folder on the desktop, and it still won't work. Do I need to change a setting?

I have saved them to a folder on the desktop, and it still won't work.
What still won't work? You have the photos in a folder on the Desktop, right? So what happens when you drag that folder onto the thumbdrive? Many such drives have a slider lock switch. Make sure it's not in the locked position.
Otherwise give us more detailed info on your setup and issue.

Ive just got a new iPhone4 and I am trying to get the App's ie games from my iPhone3 onto the 4 and retain the same levels that I have reached on the 3,
The Apps have gone onto the 4 but its making me re-start everything from level 1?
Ive paid $$ for the games and then more $$ within the games via iTunes for in game purchases and desperatly want the games on the 4 with the levels that I have reached on the 3!
Can anyone help!! Please!!!! My Smurfs and Animals are starving Hahahaha

Mate, it's good to hear that you have gotten the iPhone 4 but sorry to burst your bubbles. Not all games can have the "saved" data ported over.
Normally when you save a game in iPhone, the memory used is in the flash memory of the device. Those that can be ported over, reason is due to the data being saved over the air and when you logged in on a new device, it recognises you via the userID.
Maybe you can try to backup your iPhone 3, and restore the file onto your iPhone 4. Not too sure if that would brick your phone though.
