How best to receive photos from PC users?

How can I receive photos in Apple Mail from a PC user who says photos have been either attached or embedded in email? There is no evidence in his email of an attachment. Any guidance for me or that I can offer him would be appreciated. Thanks.
iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

Hi Jim
The photos should just show up the same as if a mac user sent them. If they don't show up, it may mean either:
1 that your friend forgot to attach them
2 that your friend is behind a firewall that's been set up to strip away attachments (which is an annoying way of trying to stop the spread of viruses), or
3 that you are behind a firewall that's been set up to strip away attachments
There is one other possibility. In Apple's Mail, if the Junk filter is in training mode, and it thinks that the mail is spam, it may not automatically load the images. When you view the mail from your friend, does it have a brown stripe across the top and is there text saying something like "mail thinks this is junk mail"? If so, then there should be one button so you can mark it as "Not Junk" and another button to "Load Images".

  • How can I sort photos from two users into one

    I have two users on my Mac and I am trying to get all my photos onto my new External hard drive.  I want one user, one photo library stored on my external hard drive.  Help!

    If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
    Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager

  • How to stop receiving photos from my old iPhone on to my new iPhone

    Hello,
    I had an old iPhone 4S that I sold to my uncle more than a year ago. Only shortly after iOS7 roll-out I started seeing photos in my device that are his. These photos are being stored in my "Photos" folder looks like as if I took them.
    There is a possibility (I don't remember) that prior to selling him the phone, I erased it completely, put in my apple ID to download some apps for him before I made him his own apple ID. I'm not sure if iCloud still has my apple ID on his phone or not.
    Regardless, I went to iTunes and "removed" the associated devices with my apple ID but only kept the very recent iPhone I have bought.
    Any help on this would be appreciated.

    He has Photo Stream enabled with your iCloud account settings on his iPhone.
    In order for him to download an app update that was downloaded with your Apple ID, he will need to know the password for your Apple ID.
    You should have erased the iPhone and left it at that.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I see that you're unable to send picture messages to non-iOS devices.  These messages are called MMS, and in order to troubleshoot the issue please follow the steps in the article below.

    Hi MrRhea,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you have photos in your Photo Stream that you would like to download. The photos are not actually stored on your Apple TV, it sounds like they are being displayed from your Photo Stream. Please read over the attached article for information on your Photo Stream and how to download these photos.
    My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to download all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically.
    In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will import into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture.
    On your PC with My Photo Stream on in the Control Panel, all of your photos will import intoC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream
    Best regards,
    Joe

  • How do i transfer photos from my imac to my iphone

    How do I transfer photos from my iMac to my iPhone?

    I've had many Apple Mac computers since 1994, and they have always been excellent pieces of equipment. The original ethic of Apple was intuitive, user-friendly, drag and drop principle. However, the iphone in my opinion has completely departed from this ethic.
    Transferring a photo from your phone to a computer should be one of the easiest and most basic functions it can perform. I have a 10 year old push-button Nokia that can bluetooth a photo to any other bluetooth device in an instant.
    However, for some reason, best known to Apple, they have now decided to make this process as convoluted as possible. No longer can one perform this simple task by via direct bluetooth link - oh no - you have to sync, and otherwise bugger about for hours trying to get one stupid picture from your phone to the computer.
    They say you can email it - but what if one doesn't want email set up on their phone - I get enough email pouring in through my computer without having it spewing out of my phone as well, and even if you did have email set up, how is that better than bluetooth - it's going backwards - that's what we used to have to do before bluetooth.
    The poster above - elmac -  illustrates how backwards this all is now, as he spends 'hours of trial and error' figuring all this crap out, and the 'best part of a day resetting his iphone' - these things are supposed to make our lives easier! Who wants to spend a day resetting their stupid phone!
    Sorry Apple, your iphone is backwards technolgoy if it can't transfer a photo quickly and easily to another device in seconds without having to play Krypton Factor in order to do so. Even the **** Air Drop doesn't work between IOS and OSX - how massively crap is that.
    As soon as my contract is up on this useless fascist slab, it's a Nokia for me, and the iphone will be launched from a vehicle at high speed.

  • How can I transfer photos from ipad 1 to pc

    I have an ipad 1 - ios 5.1.1
    I want to transfer the photos on the ipad to a windows 8 pc.
    Should be a really simple operation - yes? wrong.
    After visiting 30+ webpages, downloading various 3rd party software (and deleting them again) - I am still unable to transfer photos from my ipad to a windows pc.
    I connect the ipad 1 to a pc using cable.
    PC shows ipad.
    Then you get the option to import photos (Which 20+ websites just repeat).
    Contained in the DCIM Folder is 2 thumbnail photos. Yes - just 2. Two.
    Stored on the ipad is nearly 3,000 photo's. NOT 2!
    So how do you move photos from an ipad to PC?
    Next problem.
    Someone recommended using Syncios - wonderful.
    All photos found.
    All photos copied - except they are copied as thumbnails.
    It would seem that ipad stores your photos as a thumbnail - but when you email the photo the true size is sent. (Thumbnail is 11kb - when I attach the same photo to an email it shows it as 1.1mb)
    So - apart from creating and sending 3000 emails - so that I can transfer photos at their original resolution - HOW DO YOU TRANSFER PHOTOS FROM IPAD 1 TO A PC.
    Apple really couldn't have made a 30second operation more difficult - or deliberately impossible.
    There is NO option to do this via iTunes.
    I can transfer photos from a PC to iPad using iTunes - but not the other way around.
    So - please - does anyone have a degree in astro-physics that can explain how a person is supposed to transfer full sized photos, that are stored as thumbnails - from an iPAD 1 to a Win 8 pc?
    ps... and yes I am irritated. This has taken me 2 days so far, and still unable.
    pps... and no, I really don't need people posting - oh yes I have the same problem... I need answers.

    HHow did the photos get on your iPad? since the original iPad does not have a camera, the photos were either received in emails, copied from the web or synced from your computer. If they were copied from emails or the web they should be available to copy off the iPad using whatever Camera or image capture application you have on your computer. Connect your iPad, start the application and transfer the photos.
    if the photos were synced from your computer, they should still be on the computer used to sync from.

  • How can you transfer photos from one phone to another

    How can you transfer photos from phone to phone

    If you are trying to get all the photos from an old phone to your new phone, you could sync the old phone which would create a backup containing your Camera Roll. Then connect the new phone and follow the prompts to register and name your new phone. You will then be given the choice of restoring data to your new phone from a backup of the old phone. This will replace any existing data on the new phone with the data from the backup so it's really the best option if the other phone is new.
    Another option would be to connect the phone to your computer and import your photos to iPhoto or the My Pictures folder. Then you could sync the other phone and under the Photos tab in iTunes you could choose the folders/albums of pictures you want on the phone. They will not be in the Camera Roll, but they will be on the phone.
    I hope this helps.

  • How do I save photos from email to the photo library?

    How do I save photos from email to the photo library? I've seen an online demo of users that hold their finger or thumb over the image for a few seconds and a "save photo" window option appears. That doesn't work on my 6-month old iphone. It's version 1.1.4 (4a102) ???? Help! Anybody with an answer?

    Never mind. I figured out the 2.0 update. My system wasn't updating I-tunes...and the I-phone update option window was hidden behind some other system information. I figured it out. The download, install and re-synch took about an hour. Lots of horror stories out there about people trying to activate their new I-phones. Glad this worked for me!

    You don't.  There is the Camera Connection Kit, which let's you download pictures to your iPad via SD card, but the reverse is not a standard feature of iPad.  The best method would be to connect your iPad to your computer and transfer the pictures to your computer via iTunes.
