How to download pics from email attachment​s to photogalle​ry in windows 8.1

I need help! I take pics on my phone..send them to my gmail and then download the attachments to my photos..this worked GREAT in Windows 7. I now have Windows 8.1 and HATE it. it gives me the option as usual to open or save the attached picture but before I could copy and paste to photos and now I cannot! A HP tech found out default to open was Windows Media and help me change that but PLEASE someone tell me the easiest way to transfer these pics from email. Did i mention I HATE 8.1?? Thank you!

Karen, welcome to the forum.
Here is a guide that may help you with your problem.
I have to admit that there is a learning curve when changing from Win 7 or Vista to Win 8.1.  However, if you use the desktop, instead of the Start page, it is much the same.  Here is a guide to help you learn Win 8.1.  Also, here is a guide to help you have the computer boot to the desktop.  This is the way that I have it set-up.  To be honest, I have a HP laptop with Win 8.1 and a HP desktop with Win 7 Pro and don't have any problem switching from one to the other.  If you have more questions about using Win 8.1, please ask.

    How to download pics from Verizon cell phone to ipad2?

    Is it an iPhone ? If it is and you don't want to go via your computer and iTunes, then the camera connection kit can connect the iPhone to the iPad and can copy photos to the iPad. Also there are photo transfer apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy photos between iOS devices via your wifi network.
    If it's not an iPhone then you probably need to go via your computer and sync them via iTunes, or if there aren't that many photos and your phone supports it you can email them to yourself

  • How to Download Pics from icloud

    Hi,
    I broke my ipod & it is not working. I had uploaded around 500 + pics on icloud. please let me know how to download that pics in PC.

    If they are in photo stream and you have Windows 7 or 8, setup up your iCloud account on your PC and enable photo stream as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html.  You will then get photo stream photos from the last 30 days.  Photo stream photos older than 30 days are no longer in iCloud.

    well i stuck the usb stick inn the usb port and nnothing happpned i am doing this righht I wannt to add pics from tthis usb drive

    Hi,
    Under Windows, the USB stik should turn up as a removable drive. You can use Windows (or Files) Explorer to copy files around like any drive.

  • HT1229 how to download pics from icloud?

    The hard drive of my Mac was damage, and recently it was taken to the Genius Bar to replace with a new one.
    However after that I lose all of my photos (which I've already imported to iphoto recently)
    I've already logged onto icloud with my apple ID, but in the new-downloaded icloud, there's still no pictures in the library.
    Does it mean that I've lost all of them?

    No
    I still have no idea what the problem is -
    do you have a backup from before your Mac was damaged?
    What version of iPhoto and of the OS do you have?
    what happened and what was doen to fix it?

    What do you mean by "not active"? Do you mean it won't turn on? If so, there is no way for you to get anything from the phone.

  • How to download pics onto thumb drive as backup

    I need help to find out how to download pics from adobe photoshop onto thumb drive for backup purposes?

    Sounds like you are using photoshop elements and not photoshop. As photoshop does not store any images. For photoshop all images are where ever you placed them which can be moved or copied using your OS's default file browser.
    Since I mever used elements, I can only guess, that the database in elements only points to the original files, Try right clicking on on of the files and see if it has an option of viewing in your file browser. This would give you the location so you can copy or move files to your flash drive.
    I am using file browser loosely as I do not know if you have Windows or a Mac.

    Or, if you have two compatible Macs with Lion, you can use AirDrop.

  • How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from email?

    How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from emails I receive?  It shows the default as Photoshop Elements 4.0 and is not supported by this system.  That was my last computer!!
    Thanks,
    Sheila

    That has nothing to do with styles nor Pages, it is a System/Printer Driver setting.
    You can experiment to see if the Printer Settings stick with your document, but in the past this has not worked.
