  • Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with CS3 and CS6 and get the same problem. Doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

    Hi - for any photo, info in mountain lion shows a different file size than Photoshop does. I've tested with both CS3 and CS6 on 10.8.2 and get the same problem. This doesn't happen with CS3 and OSX10.4 or any previous versions of Photoshop and OSX. Anyone know why?

    this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
    tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
    just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

  • Help! Upload 8.1 on my iPad 2 and now I can't get any wifi nor can I reset any settings.  When I try to go on my iCloud it is all greyed out and no longer recognizes my password.

    I also can't turn off "Find my iPad" on iTunes in order to do a restore. 

    Try a reset first. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. It takes about 10 seconds. After the iPad restarts, see if you can get into your settings.

    Have Mac OS X 10.5.8. Want to upgrade to safari 7.0... it will not let me! Anyone know why?
    Thanks,
    Wes

    Of course it won't let you. You need to be running OS X Mavericks to run Safari 7.
    Run "Software Update" and you'll get the latest version of Safari that's supported on Leopard. You can't use a newer version, as the OS doesn't support the APIs that newer versions of Safari require to run.

  • HT4890 I cant find photo stream on icloud but i have it on my iphone

    I recently droped my phone in water. I am looking to get my photos onto icloud and I know that I have photo stream on my iphone 4, however I cant find them on icloud.

    The image files aren't viewable in a browser. They are "pushed" via Wi-Fi to your other devices that have Lion or iOS 5.1.

  • HT201317 When i try and share a photo with photo stream, most of my contacts are greyed out?

    I tried sharing a picture using photo stream but most of my contacts are grey and unable to be selected?

    Contact will be grayed out if they don't have an email address, as this is required to invite recipients to your shared photo stream.

  • Icloud photos use different amount of memory on ipad and iphone. Anyone know why?

    i Recently set up photos library on icloud. I have the same number of pictures on both my ipad and iphone, yet the memory usage is nearly double on the iphone. i can't think of a reason for this. Does anyone have an explanation?

    So does that mean, that if I have more available memory on one of the devices, then the pictures will be stored at a higher resolution?
    I have both devices set to optimise the pictures, There are the same number of pictures on each device, yet on the iPad they use 150mb but on the iphone they use 300mb
    There is a little more space available on the iPhone, so maybe the resolution they are stored at, is varied according to space?

    i smashed the screen on my 5s ... i got a new one... File > Devices > Back up does not seem to be an option when i plug in my iphone with the cracked screen..... so i tried to plug in my smashed one to back it up and transfer using my itunes that i just upgraded to latest 11.3 on my macbook pro and its saying 'do you want to set this iphone up as a new phone' or 'backup from some backup in 2012??? i dont want to do either.. i just want to back up my current iph 5s with the smashed screen so i can put the backup onto my new 5s??!!!... i have read many forums and tried to get info off the apple sites but some say it will erase everything and some say it wont... but im scared to go ahead with the setup as new iphone .. bcos ive had it erase everything another time i did it wiht a previous iphone   not cool!!!  why does it have to be so confusing?

    I find that when my device is syncing then the backup is also greyed out. If I wait for the sync to finish then the Backup function works

  • I want to use photo stream and I have iPhoto' 09 8.1.2 at the moment, which upgrade do I need?

    I have been trying the 'Software update' thing but It isn't coming up with anything. I just want to use photo stream in icloud.

    You are using iPhoto '09, and Photo Stream requires iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3, so you have to purchase iPhoto '11 from the App Store.
    Before purchasing, open Finder, select Applications in the sidebar, and delete iPhoto. Then, open App Store and purchase iPhoto. After being downloaded and installed, make a backup of your iPhoto library in a different folder: iPhoto will update your library, and if this process fails, you will lose all your pictures

  • My iPhoto is update, so why won't it let me do photo stream in iCloud

    I want to use photo stream on iCloud, however I'm told to update latest version of iphoto. When I check with updates, I'm told my software is updated. What can I do?

  • ICloud won't stay signed out and other fun stuff

    Okay so I am on a MacBook Pro using Yosemite and my machine has several problems. The first is that my iCloud will not correctly sign in. When going to Preferences>iCloud the screen is greyed out and I can not change any settings. As prompted at the top of the screen I enter my password to verify my id. I do this and press enter and nothing happens. I have then tried logging out, which seems successful at first, but if i try to log back in it says 'Can not log back in at this time'. If I then leave system preference and reopen it and go back to iCloud settings, I find that some how i am now logged in and the problem restarts with the greyed out screen.
    The next problem is that when ever I restart my computer certain applications, when opened, return to where they were a couple of months ago. If I open safari several tabs reopen, and if I open lock lizard (a pdf viewer) certain documents open. Applications that i have removed from my dock even reappear  in the dock. It is as if my hole computer jumps back to a certain point several months ago every time I restart my computer.
    So these are the problems I am having, and so far the great google has not helped me. I hope I have not be vague.

    This should fix the issue:
    Special thanks to Roger Wilmut for providing the detailed instructions below.
    https://discussions.apple.com/people/Roger%20Wilmut1
    1. Shut down Mail.  Next, deselect "iCloud Mail" in the iCloud preferences pane in System Preferences FIRST.  If not, it will automatically pre-populate the wrong p9X.mail.me.com server names again overwriting all your work.
    2. Now restart Mail and go to preferences.  If "iCloud" mail is still showing, select it and click on the "-" at the bottom to remove it.
    3. Now follow the instructions here:http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html (disregard that this is for Snow Leopard, it DOES work on Lion) paying attention to the use of the "option" key when needed to avoid Mail automatically "creating" the account and closing out the preferences window.
    4. Ensure the correct server names of "imap.mail.me.com and smtp.mail.me.com" are still there and close Mail preferences and now select "get mail".  It may prompt one last time for your iCloud password, enter it and you are done.
    Good Luck.

  • HT201317 If I don't want to use photo stream, can I still upload a bunch of photos to iCloud and then share them with people who do not have iCloud?

    If I don't want to use photo stream, can I still upload a bunch of photos to iCloud and then share them with people who do not have iCloud?

    iCloud provides a simple gallery in the form of 'Photo Journal' - uploading of photos from iPhoto to web pages hosted on iCloud, but only from iOS devices; and the photos are compressed to a size adequate for online viewing but are not available in full resolution as with the old MobileMe Gallery. Apple have provided a sample album here.
    There are various other photo gallery services which you may find preferable: some of them are examined here -

  • HT4906 Do I need to purchase Aperture 3 to use photo stream in iCloud ?

  • HT4906 i have i Photo 8.1.2.  do i need to buy iPhoto 11 to photo stream through iCloud?

    i have i Photo 8.1.2.  do i need to buy iPhoto 11 to photo stream through iCloud?

    Yes, and you need to be at lion level in the os.... AND you need to have an intel chip set greater than intel duo core to run lion.   Don't make my mistake and buy iPhoto 11 only to discover I need to upgrade to lion (which I can't on both of my macs!)
