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 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 to download pictures from the cloud to a new phone

I have a new iPhone 6 plus and want to get my pictures from my iphone 4s. they are backed up to the cloud.

Pictures are not "backed up" to iCloud, with the exception of their inclusion in a full backup of the device. If they are in Photo Stream, then they will be in the Photo Stream tab in the Photos app once you sign into iCloud on the iPhone 6. If they are part of a backup, then you need to choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" during the setup process on the iPhone 6. If you've already set it up, go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, to start over.

Downloading MP3s from the web with new quicktime

This new quicktime is proving to be really crappy. A band has posted a link to an MP3 to download but once I get to the site I can only listen to the song. With the old Quicktime Pro, you could click on a part of the playback controls to save the file.
I know you can normally option-click on the link that says song.mp3 and it will download the song to your downloads folder but this link happens to go to a tracker first so it's not a direct link to the song.
If someone could help me figure out how to download this song I'd appreciate it.
The band's page is here http://loscampesinos.com/2009/09/09/the-sea-is-a-good-place-to-think-of-the-futu re/ and the mp3 is located here http://www.wichita-recordings.com/download/The%20Sea%20Is%20A%20Good%20Place%20T o%20Think%20Of%20The%20Future.mp3
The only solution I found was to open Quicktime 7 and open the url and export as an MP3. That's a heck of a lot of work compared to the old way. I'm hoping that I'm just missing something simple.

It's Safari 4 not Quicktime that causes this... Safari 4 doesn't support downloading non-embedded media. Safari now supports html 5 might be the reason why. Media in html 5 isn't handle by plugins. Use Firefox instead.

HT2693 How to download pictures from multiple iPhones with the same Apple ID?

I have multiple iPhones (e.g. iPhone 4S, iPhone 5) registered under the same Apple ID however i only manage to download the pictures in my iPhone 5 via iCloud.
How do I retrieve the remaining photos that was uploaded to iCloud previously from my older iPhones with the same Apple ID?
Pls help!!!

Hi edristiew,
Are the photos that you are referring to still in Photo Stream? Remember, Photo Stream has limits which are outlined in this article:
iCloud: Photo Stream limits
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858
If the photos are still stored in Photo Stream, this resource may answer your questions about how to extract them (Mac or PC):
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ

If the photos are no longer in Photo Stream, but are in your camera roll, you can import them to your computer:

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?

I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 8 with iTunes installed. Now my iPhone 4S is no longer recognized in iTunes. Connecting with USB sends me directly to the MS app that downloads pictures from the iPhone. Suggest this is a question of missing Apple driver.

I upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 8 with iTunes installed. Now my iPhone 4S is no longer recognized in iTunes. Connecting the iPhone with USB sends me directly to the MS app that downloads pictures from the iPhone. Suggest this is a question of missing Apple driver for Windows 8, iTunes and iPhone. MS does not care! This seems to be a general problem with Windows 8 that a number of drivers that used to work with Windows 7 now do not work, ie. iPhone to iTunes, HTC to HTCSync, Samsung to Kies etc. I need this connection to work in order to syncronize with Outlook and my iTunes library.

Maybe it would have been a better idea to confirm that iTunes is supported in Windows 8 before buying a computer with that Operating System.
There will be a new version of iTunes released this month... no one forced you to upgrade prior to a supported version of iTunes being released.
Like the fact that you just called most of us stupid there

I can't copy and paste pictures from the web to my email like I could with Explorer?

With IE you can copy a picture from the web and paste in to an email, with Firefox I have not been able to do this?

In Firefox, right click over the image you want to copy and select "Copy Image".
Go to your email application and then right-click and "Paste".
This should work.
I notice that you are using an older version of Firefox, so it might be worth upgrading to the newest version Firefox 6.0.2.

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.

My iphoto library has become unreadable. I am wondering if I shoudl delete iphoto and reinstall? Can I download iphoto from the web? I bought my computer in February of this year. Do I have to buy a new copy of iphoto?

It's probably the library that's the prolem and not the application. Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create and open a new library then your existing library is damaged.
If that's the case, Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Thunderbird stopped downloading emails from the web server and now when I try to add a new account I get a message to say it cannot find the email server.

Thunderbird was working and then for no reason it stopped downloading emails from the web server. I can access my emails in the web server okay. I have tried to remove my account and then add it again as a new account but I get a message saying that Thunderbird cannot find the email server. I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird but with the same result. I have also tried to remove the default mail server but have been unable to do so. How can I fix this?

I figured out a workaround.... Since I can get e-mails to populate via iSync and my other computer is running Leopard (it's a powerpc chip and can't run Snow Leopard), I added the account on the other computer and got the new account to populate into my SL machine with iSync. I don't like that I can't actually add the account directly, but at least this got me working.

Download file from the web

Hey,
I'm struggling to download files from the web.
The first approach I though of was simply opening the url in Safari, but it would just open the file, not download it.
Then there is an application called "URL Access Scripting", but I can't figure out how it works.
That might sound stupid, since it has only a download and an upload command, but they do not work.
The download function asks for a file specification, what the #$^& is that?
I tried supplying a file, but to no avail.
For obvious reasons I can't make an alias of a not yet existing file, so what do I put in there?
It seems file specification is a deprecated format.
My last resort was running curl in a shell script, which works, but that feels hackish.
Is there any good way to do this?

Hi pepsel,
Let's take an example. Suppose that you want to download “UltiCalc Mac 2.5” (freeware) from [this Web page|http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/games/utilities/ulticalcmac.html]. You can proceed as follows:
--BEGINNING OF SCRIPT
set theURL to "http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-reg3rdpty2.pl/product=23023&cat=25&platf orm=osx&method=sa/ulticalc_mac.zip"
set theFile to "/Users/pierre/Desktop/My_download.zip" -- same extension as the file to download
tell application "URL Access Scripting" to download theURL to theFile
--END OF SCRIPT
Of course, you should replace “pierre” with the name of your own home folder.
Hope it can help.

Is it possible to download pictures from the iPad to a pc?

Is it possible to download pictures from the iPad to a pc?

Yes as long as they are the pictures that you took with the camera. Any pictures that are in the camera roll can be imported to the computer.
You need some sort of camera application like iPhoto on a Mac or Windows Explorer or Windows Live Photo Gallery on a PC.
This article explains how to import the photos.

To add to the above, since you're running Windows your choices are Outlook if you have it on your computer (the full version, not Outlook Express), or the MobileMe service. You would load contacts into one of those two places, and then sync them to the iPhone via the settings in iTunes.
Well sort of Outlook Express. Outlook Express uses the windows built in Windows Address Book (found in Accessories). And you can sync with the Windows Address Book (as I do).
