Is there a secret to downloading photos successfully?

Hi Mac users,
My brother, a Mac user, has sent me 4 jpeg files to download. My Mail is not happy about it. After a long while, it opened one, which I then could save. However, I can't open the other files, I can't download the other files, or save the other files. They are about 2.8 MB, 1.1MB and 1.6MB respectively. My brother is able to open them successfully on his Mac. Looking at the Activity Window, it showed that Mail knew it had to download one, but there was no activity at all. They cannot be read on the slideshow either, which just shows a small black frame.
Surely, these files can't be too big? What's happening?
Thanks for your suggestions,
All the best,
Luke

Is there any way to download photos from iPhone 5s to windows 8

Is there any way to download photos from an iPhone5S to a pc w/ windows8?

See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Make sure that if you have a passcode lock on the phone that you unlock the phone prior to connecting the device. Also, if you do not have Import photo set up in AutoPlay, you may have to go to Computer, then right-click on the phone and select Import photos.

Is there a way to download photos I receive by email?

Is there a way to download photos I receive by email?

You should be able to tap and hold the photo and after a second or two you should get a 'Save Image' option appear, which should save it to the Camera Roll album in the Photos app. If you want to you can then copy them to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083

Is there a way to download photos directly from camera to iPad?

Is there a way to download photos directly from camera to iPad 2?

Yes, you need to buy the Camera Connection Kit from Apple. It has two dongles that plug into the iPad, an SD card reader and a USB that you can connect your camera to. (This USB port is for cameras, and I believe, for keyboards - not for attaching other devices to, like a hard drive.)

Is there a way to "download" photos from a local folder?

I have some photos in a local folder that I rescued from a dead laptop. When I download photos directly from my memory cards I always create subfolders by shot date, which is hugely useful for keeping them organized. Is there any way to use the Photo Downloader to import photos from a local folder, so that I don't have to create all those folders manually?
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I should add that I have tried creating an .iso file from the folder and mounting it as a drive, but it isn't recognized as an external device by Bridge.

What is wrong when my computer says there is an error downloading photos from phone?

When I connect Iphone to computer to download images it says there is an error and it won't download them. What is wrong?

As long as that junk is installed you really can't begin to figure out what's wrong.
You wrote you tried to repair the startup volume using Disk Utility. Did you do that after starting your Mac with OS X Recovery, and did it report any errors? Random freezes associated with disk access such as playing iTunes music would be a symptom of disk failure. Make sure you have adequate backups.

Is there a way to download photos directly from camera

I know you can connect the camera to IPad to download file from camera and view in IPad. I don't know if it is possible with tablet z. Or if there is a way of connect a card reader to the tablet.

I don't quite understand
do you want to download the pictures that you've taken with the tablet z? or pictures taken with another camera?

Downloading photos from Verizon Cloud

Is there a way to download photos all at once from Verizon Cloud? I have about 1400 photos I'd like to download to my computer (just upgraded my phone so I want to save them somewhere), and I can only see how to download them one by one. The solution in the FAQ (hold and click and it will let you pick multiple photos) doesn't work.

It is my understanding that you can successfully sync a handset with Verizon Cloud and regain photos stored in the cloud on your handset. I will also add this comment - Verizon Cloud is a very new product and many useful features of its predecessor program, Backup Assistant Plus, have been removed in the current version of Verizon Cloud. This is a huge disappointment to me, as I found out the hard way that all of my backed up photos(hundreds of them) must now be downloaded individually to my PC instead of via the method used in Backup Assistant Plus(a zip file of all photos could be created and downloaded in one file to my system). I am waiting for a bit to see if Verizon won't reenable this functionality in Verizon Cloud so that I do not have to cancel my backup service with them as it is essentially useless the way it now stands. Yes, it does afford a very limited backup but, to get photos back out of the cloud onto another device(short of syncing with the handset), involves an incredibly labor intensive process that would take me most of a few days to complete. I will hope that someone in a position of authority at Verizon Cloud, involved in its product development, will oneday read these messages and make the product all that it can be. Good luck to you!

Our application, SocialSafe - www.socialsafe.net, allows you to download your photos to your Mac - from there you can use iTunes to put into your phone - or anywhere else. At V1 you need to read our FAQs to see where we store them; at V2 due for release in Sept 2010 you have an export function to copy them easily to any directory.

Downloading photos directly to external hard drive.

I was wondering: Is there any way of downloading photos from camera using iPhoto directly to external hard drive, similar to the way you can do it with iMovie files.

Mount the camera ot the desktop and drag the photos to disk - or use image capture (in your applications folder) - in the Image Capture preferences (or the iPhoto preferences) you can select the action to be taken when a comera is connected

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,

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?

Is there a way to download an entire shared photo stream to your iOS device from the url?

I recently dropped my iPhone, resulting in a pretty total breaking of it. Luckily, apply care is awesome and I got my phone replaced the next day. My only issue is that I lost the ~3000 photos I had taken on a recent trip to Japan. These photos were saved on a photo stream that was then shared with others that went on the trip, however. My question is: is there a way to download that entire stream back onto my iPhone? Where I am I do not have internet access a lot of the time, and would like access to those photos all the time, as I would be able to if they were saved on my phone.
Thanks

Hello Jmask09,
Indeed, photos can be downloaded to your iPhone. Videos, however, cannot be downloaded to your device.
Can photos and videos be saved or downloaded from a shared album?
Yes. After photos are shared, anyone who can view the shared album can download and keep them permanently. Videos can only be downloaded to a Mac or PC. On an iOS device, videos are streamed from iCloud and can't be downloaded.
On a compatible iOS device, you can save photos to your Photos tab or Camera Roll.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized.

Is there a way to restore photos from Drop box to my desktop iPhoto in a large batch instead of one at a time? I tried and a zip file was downloaded but won't open. Says file format not recognized. I see how to do it one at a time with the "download" button in Dropbox but that's so cumbersome for lots of photos.

The latest iTunes wiped out my apps for my 2G iPod Touch by overwriting updates which are no longer compatible with iOS 4.2. I tried to restore to an earlier version with no success. Is there any way to download the older versions of apps which are comp

The latest iTunes software wiped out my apps for my 2G iPod Touch by overwriting newer releases of the apps which are not compatible with iOS 4.2.1. I tried to restore the iPod to an earlier version without success. Is there any way to download older versions of my apps which are compatible with my older iPod?

Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
