I want to save some copyright-free photos and clip art to my photo library. How do I do that?

Most times you can simply drag the photo onto the desktop and it creates a file which you can then move elsewhere.
Some websites don't allow their photo's to be used.
However OS X has a neat trick, simply hold
command shift 4
and a cross hairs appears which you then can take a snapshot of anything on the screen just about, even upload it here with the camera icon.
there is also command shift 3 which takes the whole screen.
there are a bunch of others, like to take a picture of the current window etc.
Finally Quicktime allows video recording of the whole screen, for recording segments you may need something like SnapZPro X still.

    Hi xpdos,
    Thanks for using Firefox OS. We don't currently support downloading an image from the browser, but we have landed a fix that will appear in a future update.

  • How do I save images downloaded from the Internet?

    I have the URL to an image stored on the Internet. Is it possible to open a connection and store the image on my computer? I'm not totally new to this, I've written a small program that could read text files from an ftp server, but it's my first try at downloadning images. Here's the code I'm using
    String wwwfile = ....;
                   System.out.println(protocol+host+wwwfile);
                        URL url = new URL(protocol+host+wwwfile);
                        URLConnection urlc = url.openConnection();
                        InputStreamReader reader = new InputStreamReader(urlc.getInputStream());
                        File file = new File(path,fileName);
                        OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(file));
                        int c;
                        while((c = reader.read())!=-1)
                        writer.write(c);
                        reader.close();
                        writer.flush();
                        writer.close();
    When I read text files, I used BufferedReader/PrintWriter instead of InputStreamReader/OutputStreamReader. The picture I want to download seems to be downloaded, it's stored on the computer, but upon viewing the picture, the browser displays the icon telling me the picture is abscent.
    What is it that I'm doing wrong?
    regards

    Ah, this might be the problem. You're using an InputStreamReader and OutputStreamWriter to wrap the streams with reader/writers. This is bad. This will corrupt binary data.
    Try this:
            System.out.println(protocol + host + wwwfile);
            URL url = new URL(protocol + host + wwwfile);
            URLConnection urlc = url.openConnection();
            // Use InputStream/OutputStreams instead of Reader/Writers for binary data.
            // Otherwise it will get corrupted.
            InputStream in = urlc.getInputStream();
            File file = new File(path, fileName);
            OutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(file));
            int c;
            while ((c = in.read()) != -1) {
                out.write(c);
            in.close();
            // You don't have to flush the file if you're
            // closing it right after.
            out.close();

  • How do I copy a photo from the internet to iPhoto library?

    I am a new Mac user. Love it so far! I am trying to drag and drop a photo from the internet into my iPhoto library. I guess I am doing it wrong. Suggestions?
    Thanks so much

    Maybe try right clicking on the pic and then Save As on the desktop and be sure the file type is jpeg or tif or some photo type. Then drop it onto the iPhoto icon in the Dock (assuming you have it there).

  • How do you copy and paste a photo from the internet without a mouse?

    Pointing, clicking, and getting around
    When you move your mouse or finger on a trackpad, you control a pointer (also known as a cursor) that moves across your screen. The pointer allows you to select and interact with the various items on your screen, including selecting files, clicking buttons, dragging sliders, and so on. Sometimes the pointer may look like a hand, a crosshair, an I-beam, or another icon, depending on what you're doing and the application you're using.
    For example, if you're using Safari to view this webpage and move the pointer across it, notice that it turns into an I-beam when you move it over text or a text field. When you see this, you can usually interact with the text or field below it. When you move the pointer over a button or link, the pointer turns into a hand, letting you know that you can click on the item.
    Depending on what you're doing and what application you're using, your pointer (far left) may change appearances
    Clicking your mouse button or trackpad button once allows you to select the item that your pointer is on. In other words, if your pointer is on a file's icon, clicking once will select it. If the pointer is on a button or link, clicking once will activate it. If your pointer is on a text field, clicking once highlights the field and allows you to start typing text in it.
    If you want to open a file, folder, or application, click your mouse button or trackpad twice. This is known as double-clicking. In general, you'll need to double-click items if you want to open them from a Finder window or the desktop. The exception to this is opening stuff from the Dock—just click once on an icon in the Dock to open it.

  • I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube,some of the photo near the beginning was corrupted.What steps should I take to export iMovie for youtube?

    I made an iMovie, 6.0.3 using music from iTunes and photos from the Internet. It looked fine on iMovie, but when I uploaded it to youtube, some of the photo near the beginning were corrupted on youtube. I tried a different photo, and the corruption took place at the same moment of the video. How do I prepare the video for export to get it ready for youtube? I wasn't sure whether to clik web or web streaming. Am I supposed to clik Quick Time after I clik Share?

    I unfortunately cannot remember where I got the 'trrndlines' plugin... I assume that it must have been from CFX (as it is located under /Users/Dom/Library/iMovie/Plug-ins/cfx/XXXtrrndlines.bundle).
    As for what it does, I also do not know, as I do not think I ever used it in my previous video projects.
    At this stage, I think I just need to uninstall it so that iMovie doesnt try to use it.
    Do you know how to uninstall a CFX plugin in iMovie?
    NOTE: I have re-installed iMovie 6.0.4 (instead of iMovie 6.0.3), but still encounter the same issue.

    I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet using either Safari or Firefox. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. Can anyone help?

    Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
    When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Photos from the Internet will not load correctly. I get white boxes with blue question marks inside. This has only been happening for the past 3 weeks so I'm not sure why it is happening.

    Photos from the Internet will not load correctly. I get white boxes with blue question marks inside. This has only been happening for the past 3 weeks so I'm not sure why it is happening.

    Yes - email & text work fine but when I use something like Google Images or search a blog with imbedded photos I get the empty white boxes with question marks.  If I click the question mark it opens the photo but I can't possibly do that for EVERY image on EVERY page I search!?!?!  I've rebooted the iPad & my wireless card several times but neither action helped.  Have any clue what I should do now?

    Sounds like the wifi isn't processing the data fast enough for video streaming.  Have you tried resetting your wifi hub ?  Switch it off for a couple of minutes and then restart it.  See if that makes any difference.

  • I reinstalled Lion and now I cannot drag and drop photos from the internet to my desktop

    My Macbookpro was giving me a startup disk full message so I emptied out my photo library and itunes library to an external drive. By then I think the damage was done because I was still encountering the spinning color wheel all the time. On the advice of he Genius bar I reinstalled Lion. It worked well except for this one glitch. I can no longer drag and drop photos from the internet. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.

    That sounds like a browser issue so what browser and what web sites?

  • How do you add a picture from the internet to Keynote

    I am trying to do a Keynote Presentation but don't know how to add pictures from internet

    Simplest way:
    1.Save the image you want from the internet on your desktop. Then just drag and drop it on your presentation.
    2. If you want, use a photo masterslide and drop the picture you want onto the standard picture the theme has.
         Then you can resize it if needed.
    3. Or: Insert -> Choose... -> and select your photo from your directory.
