How do I save a picture off the internet and where is it stored?

I wish to save photos people post on the internet or in Facebook but I don't know how to. I am new to Mac computers. Could someone please tell me how to do this and when they are saved, where can I find them? I don't see anything new in iPhoto or iCloud. Thank you to anyone who can help me with this.

To move the images to iPhoto, open iPhoto and under File click New Album if that is where you want the images to reside, then drag and drop the images to that new album.
You don't say what Mac you are using, so three approaches to right click:
1. Open System Preferences, then Trackpad if you are using a MacBook Pro or Air and do not have a mouse, then under Point and Click check Secondary Click. That is the right click function:
2. Open System Preferences then Mouse if you are using an iMac or other desktop or have a mouse with a laptop, and under Point & Click check Secondary Click:
3. You can also gain the right click function by doing Control-click on either a mouse or trackpad if you do not want to turn on Secondary Click.

Why can't I save pictures off the Internet after downloading ios 6?

Ever since I installed ios 6 I have not been able to save pictures off the Internet. When I 'Save photo', it does not save anywhere. Unless it now saves to a new spot I am unaware of? It's not in my 'Photos' section. Anyone have any ideas what this is about? Or if its going to be fixed?
Thanks!!!

I'm glad you answered so quick ;)
I think my problem is harder to solve than that. What you say is what I first tried to do. Since the sync with iTunes was still working, I could still have some pictures in the photos app, and each time I was syncing new pics from my computer ( PC btw ) I had a prompt that said sth like "xx elements have not be synced, check what on iTunes on the PC" but there was nothing on iTunes, and every pic I synced was here in the photos app. I thought there was a directory problem, or ghost pic files issues, so I made a backup of the iPad from iTunes and I disabled the autosync with iTunes. when I got it back, I directly tried to save a pic from safari and mail (even before syncing anything) and it was still not working.
I really can't figure out why is this occurring, and I haven't tried anything else for now. I think I will show this up in an apple store cause it's kinda hard to explain.
PS: sorry for the mistakes, I know this is annoying and makes my weird stuff hard to understand, but English is not my first language. (but I will keep on, the English community is still the best!)

Firefox 4 won't let me save any image off the internet (works fine with IE)

Ok...Firefox 4 won't let me save any image off the internet. It will let me right click on the image, but I won't let me choose a file type..like jpeg.
I couldn't figure it out so i completely uninstalled firefox then reinstalled. I'm still having the same problems.
I can save images normally with IE.

How doI download a photo off the web and save it to my desktop

Drag the picture off the wb page to a empty spot on the desktop and let go, it will create a file.
From there you can upload it as a attachment when sending a email.

I do not have a fax machin, but get a fax message when I try to print something off the internet and can't get rid of the pop-up so how to fix?

I have been dealing with this problem about a week. I have turned the computer completely off at night, but it does not correct the situation . I cannot print anything off the internet as long as the fax message is on there. I do not have a fax machine and do not want one.

What is that fax message '''on'''? <br />Hard to understand how that is a Firefox support issue as Firefox doesn't have any fax capabilities.
Perchance, do you have an all-in-one printer which can receive a fax message? Printer, scanner, and fax machine combined.<br />
If so, try looking at your user manual for that all-in-one to learn how to print that message. Or consult with a support forum for that brand all-in-one printer.
Or maybe your problem is with the Windows 7 Fax and Scan feature? <br />

HT4623 how do I get my pictures off my computer and copy them on my new ipad. Not a computer genius here

How do I get my pictures from my Computer and copy them to my new iPad?

Hi EJJ111,
When you hook your iPad to your Computer, you will see it listed under Devices. Click on it, and then you will see a window to the right that shows all of your Device Profile pages. You will see a tab for Photos. Click on that tab. There you should see the option to sync all photos, or selected, events, photos, albums, etc.
Select what you want sync'd and then sync the device. The photos you have selected will download to your device.
Cheers,
GB

Skype keeps booting me off the internet, and my in...

This started happening a while ago, but skype keeps booting me off the internet. I login to skype, join my friends call, and then after 1 minute i get booted and my internet is off for about 5-10 minutes... Please help.. this is very annoying -_-

Have you rung up your ISP to check that they don't have a time limit on connections? I know that AOL in Australia will cut you off after 10 minutes if you exceed a montly quota of a certain amount of hours.

How do i save a picture to the camera roll from a text message in ios 7

I am attempting to save a picture from a text message to my camera roll. However when i hold the picture the options are "copy/More" More gives the options to delete or forward via text message. And if i press copy it only copies it to be pasted. In the past i was given several options to send the pic via email/text/save to camera roll/drop box etc.
Please advise as to how i can save pictures from my text to the camera roll.
Thank you!

If you receive a picture via email or text message in ios 7 and when you press the action icon to save the picture and you do not get the option to save to your camera roll. Press and hold on the the image and you will get an overlay pop up to save the image. I have no idea why some attachments don't have option in action menu to save in the camera roll but by experimentation and earned frustration I found the above to work in certain situations.
Be well and have fun and feel rewarded in your frustrations. For without challenges, life would be an utter bore.

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.

How do i save a photo from the internet to my photo library?

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.

How do you get Voice Memos off the iPhone and onto my Mac???

Is this yet another iPhone dead end??
I used the Voice Memo app that comes with the iPhone to record some rehearsals and now I want to move them to my Mac, edit them, make CDs, share online.
I can't find any way to get them off the iPhone, unless I click the "Share" button, which means I can email them. But, it won't let me email the longer ones. I don't know how large the files are, but it just won't do it. I don't see any other facility for moving these files to my Mac. What is up with that???? iTunes provides no access to these files.
Is there some proprietary utility for the Mac that will allow me to access these files and move them to my Mac??? It would be nice if the iPhone would show up as a mounted volume which I could then browse for files, but that would make too much sense and be contrary to the control freak nature of Apple and it's iPhones/iPod Touches. I would call it another lousy user experience, but it's just a user non-experience, a complete dead end.
Is there any way to get these Voice Memo files off of the iPhone besides emailing them??

Thank you for replying!
That kb article refers to the iPod Nano and not the iPhone nor the iPod Touch.
The Synchronizing section you pointed to does not work. I have a big bunch of voice memos on the iPhone. I tried the sync. Three of them were moved to the Mac, the rest were ignored. Four others were moved to iTunes Music/Music/Unknown with numbered names (i had given several of the voice memos names with the Custom label on the iPhone). For the synch I selected "Include voice memos."
After a sync, or several syncs, none of the other voice memos were moved to the Voice Memo playlist, nor are they in the iTunes Music library.
How do you get them to sync? I need to move them off of the iPhone and onto my Mac!
