How Do I Download Pictures from the Internet?

This is the first time I've tried to download a picture from the internet with my new computer and the old right click method is not working.  I used to right click and get the dropdown menu with options for saving the picture.  How do I do this now?

I get nothing when I control click.  Is there some new way to do this?  I really liked that function.  I actually just upgraded to Mavericks so I don't know if this problem is with Mountain Lion or Mavericks because I don't believe I have tried it with the new computer which came with Mountain Lion.  I had just Lion before.
Never thought about drag and drop.  I will do do that, but I do like that right click thing. With my mouse, I can do nothing except move it around. Aren't there some other functions that a mouse can do....like right click?

  • How do i download pictures from the internet and convert them to jpg file?

    im a fulltime mom and i help my children a lot on their projects. just got my new macbook pro and was surprised that i cant easily save pictures form the net to my macbook using jpg format. please help

    Hi there,
    as I am not a Mac user, I cannot fully respond to this, but as Klaus1 said, you will probably be able to just drag a picture to the desktop. This will not change the original format of the image though. So if the image you are trying to get is a gif, png or (best case for you) a jpg file, it will still be that.
    In order to change that, you'll need some sort of program to edit the picture (like Photoshop, Picasa or Gimp where you can then save it in the desired format.

  • How do I download pictures from the computer to the ipad

    how do I download pictures from the computer to the ipad?
    I want to temporarily put pictures that I took from another camera that's on my desktop into my IPAD so I can carry it to another location and show off my pictures to friends and family?

    Connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you want more control over your photos (e.g. being able to sort them directly on the iPad and delete synced photos) then there are third-party photo apps such as Photo Manager Pro.

    How do I download videos from the internet to my MAC?

    You can use SnapZ Pro X, which will screen record with sound any animation on the monitor into a QuickTime file, but it's expensive.
    If you look for Add-ons for Firefox, there are some that download Flash and YouTube videos to a file on your machine.

    You Mac likely will come across sites and content that won't play in Quicktime, on your Mac or in your web browser unless you install additonal codecs
    You can get them here

    There is a FlashBack trojan making the rounds which tries to con people into installing it by looking like it's the real thing.
    Make sure your Flash (and Silverlight) is current by running these checks

    How to install
    When you click a link, a download of the installer file occurs to your Downloads Folder usually located next to your Trash Can or in your Users Folder.
    Open the folder and double click (or File: Open) the download and icon can appear on your desktop which you open and inside is a installer package which you double click on to launch the installer.
    OS X will check the download to make sure you intended to start it and that it's not malware it knows about.
    Follow the installer instructions to install the software onto your computer and quit when finished.
    Some require the browsers to be closed first, others require the machine to be restarted to enable the software.
    Once the install is completed, remove any and all downloads from your Download folder, it's safer to keep this folder empty so you can keep track of what appears in there.
    Drive by downloads of malware can occur and reside in the Downloads folder, mixing in with files residing there and await your click to install.

  • How do I download videos from the internet using Adobe?

    I have already installed your Flasher in my computer. I want to use it to download videos from the internet. Please help me. I have two email addresses. Both you have. I hope you hear from you. My name is Gomez and my email address is [removed] Hope to hear from you.

    Do you have any issues in viewing videos?
    If so, please let us know your operating system (Windows XP, 7 or Mac) and the browser you use (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari).

  • How do I download videos from the internet using Adobe Flashplayer?

    Dear Adobe Customer Support,  I want to download a video from the internet but I don't know how to do so. Please help me.

    Adobe Flash player enables you to view Videos but not download them to the local drive. You need to use other non-adobe softwares for that.
    If you are facing issues watching the videos due to flash player not installed then you have to tell me the OS and browser you are using.
    You can also refer to the following KB's :

  • How to download pictures from the internet to my camera roll

    I have never used this before. A friend asked me how to download photos from facebook to the camera roll. I have never done this before and she states that she regularly did this on the iphone 4s. Now she does not have the option to share the photo either.

    Once the image is saved to the camera roll it can be shared from there.

  • How do I import pictures from the internet?  Which tutorial tells how?

    I've got this great computer that I absolutely love but I still don't know how to use so many things and I can''t seem to find what I need to know in the tutorials and manuals.
    I am still trying to figure out how to import pictures from web sources so that I can save them for reference or to share.
    How do I do this and where can I find the printed info?
    The only thing I can figure out right now is to print out the pic and then scan it back onto the desktop. I hope this is not the only way.
    Thanks for your help...

    itzamirakul,
    In most cases, it is much simpler than you would think.
    In this case, all you need to do is click on the image and drag it out of the browser window to some location... your Desktop, or a folder on your Desktop.

  • How to download pictures from the web with their URLs?

    How do you download pictures from the Web so that they automatically have their URL addresses in their "Comments" section of the Get Info window? I thought Safari did this automatically, but it's not happening for me.

    Graham--
    When you say to open the image in another window, do you mean another Safari window? When I do and right click on the image, I don't get the "Inspect Element" option. I have tried your other suggestion, and that doesn't work either.
    So.... I'm still puzzled...
    I am also working in the same version of Safari (4.0.4) but this may be because I have the "Develop" menu (between Bookmarks and Window). If you do not, that will not be available to you. I can tell you how to get this, but as a newer user, this may be (for now) more information than you want.
    However, if you do open that image in a new window, the toolbar will display the URL of the image.
    As to the other solution, I may not have explained this clearly enough. Let me suggest another route to the same idea. With an image in a web page, drag it to the desktop. When it is on the desktop, highlight the image (click once) and then use the Finder > File menu and the item, Get Info. The large panel that opens will give the URL and this works for any file downloaded from the internet, which makes it a useful security check too.
    All the best.

  • How do I download pictures from a disk to iPhotos on my MacBook Pro?

    I am working on an album for a friend whom sent me a disk of photos.  How do I download pictures from the disk to my iPhotos so I can then pick and choose which ones to print?  Thanks!  Cyndy

    From the iPhoto menu bar click File / Import to Library.
    Navigate to the disc icon, click Import.
    For printing, select a photo then go to File / Print.
    You can click Order Prints if you want Apple do the job for you.
    They do an excellent job.
