I cannot save photos from a webpage with a right click. Why not?

I cannot save photos from any webpage using a right click on Firefox, so I must open Internet Explorer to do that, yet my friend can do it on FF with his computer. Why is that?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed firefox

Issues with the right-click context menu not working can be caused by the [http://toolbar.yahoo.com/ Yahoo Toolbar] (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

Cannot copy photos from HP Photosmart with Windows Vista

I know how to copy photos onto my iPod (30G) and have done so before. I recently bought a new computer with Vista and cannot copy photos from my Pictures folder. I get a message that says, "Some of the photos...were not copied to the iPod...because they cannot be displayed on your iPod." What can I do to help fix this? I have tried resizing and using Adobe Photoshop and I get the same message.
Thanks for the help.

I use Picasa. You don't have to use iTunes at all. Connect the phone with the USB cable and launch the app of your choice, such as Picasa. Click the "Import" button at the upper left. Your iPhone should appear in the dropdown of choices to import from. You can then import all or some of the photos in the Camera Roll. You should be able to do the same thing with Microsoft Picture Manager or any other photo management program.
The reason that Elements is the only choice is that's the only one that iPhoto on the phone recognizes albums in.
You cannot move photos INTO the Camera Roll from your computer; it's a one-way transfer. But you can sync photos to the Photos app on the iPhone. You either use Elements, or just create a folder on your computer for photos to sync, then create a sub-folder for each album you want on your computer. Copy the photos to each album, then go to the Photos tab in iTunes and select the top-level folder. When you sync each sub-folder will become an album on the iPhone.
However, I consider the photo app on the iPhone rather limited and klunky. Instead I use the app MyPics from the app store. It syncs photos from my Picasa Web albums directly to the phone over the air. I can also create albums in Picasa Web from the phone, and upload images from the Camera Roll directly to Picasa Web.
Another way to get photos (and other files) to and from the phone is Dropbox and similar cloud-based storage solutions.

Cannot save photos from email (iOS 4)

Well, that's not entirely true:
If I get an email with a photo attached, I can see the photo just fine. I can go through the Save procedure just fine. But when I go to the Photo Album to view the photo, I can't open it directly. I have to open the image previous to it, and then scroll tot he next image to see it. And when it does open, it's not the image that I saved, but rather it's the Photo Album thumbnail of the image that opens!
Help?

Using iPhone 4 with iOS 4.2. I just noticed today that I am having the same problem. It appears to just be an issue with jpg files. I have successfully saved other formats (tif, gif, png) to my camera roll directly from email.
My friend is running iOS 4.1. His phone has the same problem. I think this started with 4.1 and was not fixed with 4.2.
I hope this is fixed with the next update (4.3?) as jpg files seem to be the most commonly used image file type.

I cannot save photos from email or facebook to "my pictures" file & have gone through the suggestions up to changing applications in tools/ options/ application

The download window shows 'open' but it is in gray instead of black when I right click. If I double left click, it does nothing. It simply isn't saving the photo. It seems to me it worked a couple of weeks ago but hasn't worked since.

I'm just trying to print my online pay stub
Since my printer isn't working, I'd like to save document to my desktop ("save as" is the only option given to me) and send it as an attachment to a friend's computer and working printer.
What browser are you using?
Are you trying to print or to save the doc? Whether you have a working printer or not is really immaterial. If you're trying to print, then File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF…. If the resulting PDF is small enough (<5MB, though my preference is <1MB), e-mail it to your pal. If it's too big, transfer it using a chat programme or a file service (MediaFire, RapidShare, etc).
Now, I am currently trying to send the document directly (via email, an option given under "file") the pay stub from my employer (who uses ADP online payroll services), to that computer and working printer ....and I'm receiving a window (with apple mail logo on it) that begins with "To view this page, you must log in to this area on agateway.adp.com:443:" and asks for "name" and "password". I've put in both ADP's information, and what I believe (could be very wrong) to be apple mail's information, and either/neither/nothing seems to work!
I don't understand any of this. You need to explain better—or perhaps just post a screen shot (blank any private or confidential info on it prior to posting).

TS4435 Cannot save photos from Mail to iPhoto!

We have been UNABLE to save photos for FIVE months and have asked Apple Staff anf Joint Venture for help.
ONLY NOW we find out that Apple KNOWS about this and refuses to repair it!
I am sorry, but this is NOT the Apple we knew under Steve!!!

This problem is an OS problem not an iPhoto one, so it will take an OS update to fix it, not an iPhoto one.
10.8.2 is the current version of the Operating System. I got it from Software Update, like everyone else does.

Why can I no longer import photos to iphoto library from the internet with a right click?

Why can i no longer import photos from the internet to my iphoto library with just a right click?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.

Cannot save photos from Mail, faded iPhoto icon?

Hi,
Stumped again, I have been emailed 11 photos as an attachment in my Mail application. I want to place the photos into iPhoto, logically click SAVE and hold and then SAVE ALL....the next window opens and looking at PICTURES, the iPhoto Library is faded out, not allowing for saving.
Seems I have missed something, previous to iPhoto '08 this was not an issue in my memory.
Solutions?
Cheers, SZ

It works for me so there's gotta be some glitch in your library or application. Run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Issues with the "right click" window not going away, unable to web browse

Out of the blue, and at least 3-4 times a day, the "right click" pop up window will appear while I am web browsing, if I try to move the mouse , the window will continue to appear until I have to re boot.. Also, while it does this, sometimes it will make my screen pan in and out while moving the mouse.. Any ideas why this happens.. It's becoming quite annoying. BTW my browser is fire fox, and I have reinstalled it but it has not helped.
Thanks

Actually... thinking about it... it sounds like a sticky ctrl key on your keyboard
The zooming in and out is when you hold ctrl and move the scroll ball
the "right click" function (as on macs of old) is activated when ctrl+click-ing...
Have a look around your keyboard, maby try another, see if the problem persists

How do you eject your iOS device from photos? Right clicking does not bring up the menu.

I noticed there is no intuitive way to eject the iOS device from Photos. No up arrow, and right clicking does not bring up an eject option. I do not want to enlarge the "other" space of my iOS device by not ejecting it properly.

I too have noticed this. Yesterday after downloading photos from my iPhone 5s to Mac Photos for the first time since iOS and OSX updates on the weekend. I do not have the option to sync this phone to iTunes when connected ticked so only Photos opens. After download I wanted to eject the phone but noted no eject arrow in Photos, I went to a new Finder window and was surprised to see the phone was not listed under Devices so I had to launch iTunes and allow a sync to complete before I could eject. This is plainly not right, the industry and Apple themselves tell us constantly that we must "Eject" before removal of a USB device. If not one usually gets a dialogue box to say the device was not properly ejected.

HT4993 Since I did the ios update yesterdayI cannot save photos (ie from facebook) they will not save in my camera roll)

Since I updated yesterday to the iOS6 day I cannot save photos (ie from Facebook) to my photos.. any help from anyone would be great.

I've noticed that with the iOS update, you're not asked if you want to allow the app to access photos or something. I said do not allow on Facebook thinking that it would upload pictures without my permission. Really this allows you to save photos to your camera roll. Now I have to figure out how to undo this....
You've been able to save photos from Facebook since at least the last update. You just touch the picture for 2-3 seconds and a menu will pop up asking if you want to save it/make profile picture/cancel/etc.

Cannot save photos on iphone 5

As of June 1 I cannot save photos to my camera roll. If I "save image" from a message or facebook, they don't save to the camera roll. Also, when I take a photo with the phone the picture shows in the lower left but doesn't save to the camera roll.

Connecting to iTunes on the Computer you Usually Sync and Back Up to will prompt you to Backup and Transfer Purchases as well as ask you to Import your Photos.
Your Issue may be too many Photos in your Camera Roll.
If you like... Try This First...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer..)
Release the Buttons...
If the issue persists... Try the Restore.

I cannot email photos from within iPhoto (v. 9.5.1). When I hit send I get a message: "Your email did not go through because the server did not reply." This happens for both my iCloud account and my Shaw account. What to do???

Are you able to email from Mail with those two accounts? If so:
1 - go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete both accounts. Now add them back and try again.
2 - a better solution IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto is iPhoto's General preference pane. This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy of all emails and, if you want a layout similar to iPhoto's, photo layouts located in Mail's stationary.

I cannot upload photos from iPhoto 9 to Flikr. When I attempt to do so, I get the message "the login details or auth token passed were invalid." Please help.

I cannot upload photos from iPhoto 9 to Flikr. When I try, I get the message "the login details or auth token passed were invalid." I am using iPhoto 9 version 8.1.2, and my OS is 10.9.5. My computer is a MacBook Pro. I do not have this trouble with my iMac. This trouble started before I updated to OS10.9.5. I do not have this problem when uploading to FaceBook or sending by e-mail.
This problem started when I tried to upload some photos after hitting the "use other account" tab. This took me to a Flikr site asking me for permission to make my iPhoto information available to others. I clicked "yes," and then I changed my mind and clicked "no." I haven't been able to upload to Flikr since.
I searched Flikr and Yahoo for a solution, and Yahoo says the trouble is in iPhoto. I checked my Flikr account, and iPhoto extensions are enabled.
I need to upload some school and alumni photos, so I sure could use some help. I am Not computer proficient. Thank you.

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

I cannot download photos from my digital camera to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to successfully do this up to 4 days ago but not yesterday. My camera/device is recognized in the Source List but photos won't download for me to import to library.

I cannot download photos from my digital camera (via a cable) to Iphoto (version '09). I have been able to do this successfully up til 4 days ago but not yesterday (Dec. 25th). My camera/device is recognized in the Source List, but when it tries to download the photos, all I get are the words "Loading Photos" in the area where the thumbnail pictures usually display. The little "gear" symbol next to the words but it just goes round and round. Nothing ever downloads, and instead of showing me how many pictures there are to import it just says "No photos". So therefore I cannot import the photos to my library since they won't even download.
I was getting an error message a few days ago that my Iphoto library was getting full, so I emptied my trash in both Iphoto and on my computer. I had this same problem back in October and emptying the trash and getting rid of some photos did help (can I really be using that much storage space for the pictures?). But it didn't help this time.
Any suggestions as to what to do to solve the problem? I would try taking the SD card out and inserting that into the slot on the computer to see if I could load pictures that way; but the last time I did that, they wouldn't load. Not sure if I lost pics from the disc or not.
Thank you,
